Artist's Comments

Inspired by Oscar Wild's "Nightingale and the Rose". You can read the full story here - [link]

So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and the thorn touched her heart, and a fierce pang of pain shot through her. Bitter, bitter was the pain, and wilder and wilder grew her song, for she sang of the Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb.

One of my favorite fables, it tells the story of a nightingale that gives his own life to create a red rose in a beautiful and yet tragic way... ALways wanted to do something inspired by it.


Thank you to everyone who helped me with this work, I appreciate all the comments and votes on flickr too :] Oh and I hope the rose isn't too big..

:heart:
