Description
My new attempt with "Gormenghast" novels inspired pictures... Well, this is how I imagine Lady Fuchsia when she was a child. I drew the yellow rose on her dress, instead of sunflowers (which she adore), as some kind of hint on her future love story. Also I drew the owl with her as a guardian and her friend.www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUQZR1…
A child denied all love can't weep
But bravely bears her life alone
So Fuchsia, as you try to sleep
You dream of friends you've never known
In troubled years when no-one cared
You searched for comfort everywhere
For heavy burdens never shared
Became too much for one to bear
So much to give,
But those who live
Don't know of you
Your fantasy
Of love to be
Cannot come true
Oh Lady Fuchsia!
Oh Lady Fuchsia!

This is my very first attempt with oil pastels. They seem to be a bit difficult to me, because it's almost impossible to correct mistakes, while drawing with them. One moment I thought that this picture was spoiled, but then I decided to keep it as it is.
Made on A3 textured paper with oil pastels.
Thanks for your attention!

Сова очень кстати вписалась) Можно тут даже какой-нибудь скрытый смысл поискать, вроде того, что Фуксия внутренне нуждается в поддержке и опоре отца, который мнит себя совой (а почему совой? а кто его поймёт, может, он в свою очередь нуждается в любви супруги, которая, к сожалению, привыкла питать нежные чувства к птицам, а не к людям?)
Но если серьёзно, рисунок очень душевный. И намёк с розой понравился, хотя я не сразу поняла, что это роза

Спасибо! Я согласна, сова может еще обозначать сходство Фуксии и отца и их взаимоотношения.
Мне вот тоже этот рисунок в принципе нравится, хоть я чуть всё не испортила на половине работы
Ну а приличную розу нарисовать - это пока для меня проблема (я, по-моему, в жизни ни одной нормальной розы не нарисовала )

Always liked lady Fuschsia - ' ~ but with how subtle a twist might she not suddenly have become beautiful. '
and the Strawbs song has always been one of my favorites .
