Description
"within the ripples and surges of the lake water other voices arose, liquid, evasive, murmuring to one another as their owners bore my little boat swiftly, too swiftly. I blinked and stared, wondering how much was real and how much feverish vision. There were long pale hands in the water, and faces with wide-set eyes, and hair like fronded weed...there were tails with jewel-bright scales....I heard their voices calling to me, around, under behind, and before me in the darkening water. "Its easy, so easy sorcha. Slip over the side and down to us. slip away down... come down, Say goodbye to your pain, let the water wash it away...Come and dance with us in the deep."
Ch7- Daughter of the forest- Juliet Marillier.

Ive always wanted to draw this scene- it reminded me of Ophelias story. This is sorcha saying goodbye to a terrible part of her life, letting the boat take her to new places, unknown.
I havent decided who the figure under the tree is, its either Lady Oonagh or The Lady of the forest- you decide.
that tree was a killer to draw.

A4, graphite pencil on paper. 3 hours.
