Artist's Comments

They both gazed at the green and flowery spectre reflected in the watery old glass, surrounded by the blackness, driven through with the wild rain beyond. A maplefruit leaf, shaped like a star with blunted points, or like a heart grown lopsided, suddenly whirled out of the night and plastered itself on the reflection in the glass, gleaming red and reflecting the firelight, just where the heart would be - or so it seemed from the angle at which Glinda stood.
"Entrancing," she said. "There's some strange exotic quality of beauty about you. I never thought."


WICKED, the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire : page 78.

I really love this scene. It's possibly my favourite in the whole book.
I'd like to try repainting it again someday, looking from the inside of the room out.

98% of teenage population does/tried smoke pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy.

Brilliant!! You drew that scene so wonderfully I can't imagine it another way now :XD:
:iconschattenblum:
Wonderful, the way you've captured the reflection quality - makes for a nostalgic, almost ghostly image... yeah, that scene is so touchingly written.

Strength to thy soul and wind to thy wings.

Sunlight to walk in,
moonlight to dance in,
starry skies to gaze upon.
