 End of winter, somewhere in the far north. A beautiful but hostile world, still frozen, still bitter cold. A nymph arrives, this time apparently too early. Yet she stays there, waiting,  hoping that winter will eventually give way to spring.

oooh completely beautiful ..
colours are kind of wintery warm ..
her figure is just a little different , which adds to her mystery
but i love the whole picture
wonderful art !

:-) Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Thank you. Tried to combine an aura of mystery with realism when I painted this nymph. Also tried to convey her feelings, her hopefulness, and her fears. "

Okay, dungeon master moment... in our campaign one of our characters is half-elven, but she was raised as a human, has never met another elf or half-elf, and doesn’t even know if there are any others like her. There’s a story about her character dancing at the spring festival of her (human) tribe, dressed only in wreaths of flowers (check). But they know she is different... and even though she is beautiful and well-loved by her people, when the dancing ends, no lover has come to try to win her favour.

The story was sad enough to start with and then I saw this picture, and immediately went "Oh, it’s XXXXXXX...!" and actually started tearing up... I had to send the link to the player whose character this is, and she immediately emails back saying "OH GOD IT’S XXXXX AT THE SPRING RITE!!! SO SAD!!!"

So we have our own story for your lovely picture! Thanks!
