Night


Loon at Night pen and ink

Indian legend has it that a young woman in mourning over the lost of her brother sang such a sad and beautiful song that the stars fell from the sky and landed on her back. Thus, she became the loon where she could always echo the tearful refrain into the night sky.Posted by Picasa

One of my favourite sounds when I used to go to the cottage. It was always relaxing. My other fave sound is a distant foghorn. Really great illo.

That's such a beautiful story, and your very crisp black and white illustration does it justice.
