Acrylic on canvas, 16x20 inches.

A new piece.

When Sibelius (in 1926) was asked by his publisher to explain the programme of his tone poem Tapiola, he replied with the following verse:

Widespread they stand, the Northland's dusky forests,
Ancient, mysterious, brooding savage dreams;
Within them dwells the Forest's mighty God,
And wood-sprites in the gloom weave magic secrets..


Thanks for looking :)

Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it. If I had a 16X20 scanner (if there were such a thing) I'd feel like Thor on Mt. Olympus.

Jupiter, rather.

(Not mine just to show there's a place which looks like this)
No problem, i've wanted to drawn a scene inspired by "Tuonela's swan" for a long time and now that i've seen your works i feel encouraged to do.
