Higher Mechanics of Dreaming

Description

I picked up a book about Aubrey Beardsley and it inspired me to do something linear and decorative. So that's what I did. Here you see a tiny cherub and her dream, but you can't see what she's dreaming about. It's actually a sad dream, full of remorse and far too heavy for the fragile framework which supports it.
In coloring it I tried to make it look aged, like a Winsor McKay strip from a hundred years ago, which is why it's snowy.

I loved this picture when I saw it in your book. It's so well done & I can get lost in the detailing...
Congrats btw on the contest! ;)
