Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

There is this feast in Scandinavia (and some other places) on december the 13. where the return of light is celebrated and young beautiful maidens in white skirts enter the rooms carrying candles and singing songs with gentle voices.
I thought that geese with their white feathers did fit quite well in to this picture... apart from the voices.

I haven't any of my usual painting stuff at hand, so I had to improvise heavily, which some my regard as a challenge. I found it simply annoying...

Some black pen, gel pen and coloured pencils

That's interesting! Here the maidens used to sweep the corners of the room with a geese wing, to drive the evil out on december 13th...

Ah yes, I'm familiar with this tradition...this is a lovely interpretation of that event!!! I absolutely love your work!

They look so peaceful and happy. I much prefer the quiet, subtle joy of something like this than the pomp and pagentry of what Commercial!Christmas has become.

Thanks for getting me in the holiday spirit! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
