This is the painting inspired by Rasputina's lyrics:

"Oh we are as one with the acorns, my son.
No trunk, no branch, no tree.
You scratch at my skirts and that's what we go find,
I rock you into sleep.

I'm queen of the hilltop,
you're prince number one.
I see the devil, alive in your eyes.
I beg you now don't stop, my baby, my son.
Don't look at nobody but me.

Oh, we are as one with the acorns, my son,
that's where we ought to be."

Everyone thinks the babe is a girl though, I guess it's the hair.
I'm really satisfied with this piece though. Looking at my first piece of 2010 versus 2009, it makes me smile to see that I have improved.

Watercolor.

Absolutely stunning, I love the style. You handle watercolors extremely well, I had no idea that's what this was done in until I read your artists comments. Really amazing work : )

I really enjoy your choice of colors for this piece, I think the fall leaves and the purple of her dress really give off a great mood, and echo the tone that the action between the two people in the painting themselves. . . it looks like the woman is comforting the child. Reminds me of maybe a piece of old lore, like a lost child being found by a magical woman who dwells in the forest (it's the sparkles around her and her twig necklace/hair piece that gives me this impression).

For some critique, I'd say to work on proportions. . . not the best at them myself so I can't be more specific. Also, lighting. The child and the woman both appear as if they are in bright light, but in the background we can see that it is night time.

Wonderful work, especially with your choice of medium. Great job. :D

Thank you for such elaborate feedback! I agree with all of your critique, with every new painting I try to push myself further and further. I suppose that is the only way to get better.
