So once upon a time, there was little girl who wanted her aunt to make her a picture of a "Snow Queen."
After making just such a request, the aunt replied more or less with "Sure!" And then went on merry way having art block and other fun things and the painting really never was started.

Then one day, the evil step mother (who wasn't evil and also wasn't a step mother) informed the aunt that the little girl was growing impatient because, after all, "What's so hard about drawing a snow queen?"
Feeling guilty, the aunt sat down and started drawing. And this is what came out.

She's still not sure why there are glowing fish in the frozen pool but her art block seems to be ended and Evil Stepmother (you know, the one who's not really a step mother...or evil) assures her the niece will love the painting.

And they all lived happily ever after.

THE END

Beautiful. This is so lovely, the little girl must have died with happiness when you gave it to her! I love the hair and the swans are excellent! The whole thing makes me a little cold looking at it, which is an excellent thing! Great job, very nicely done

:-) Lisa Eshkenazi replies: "I dont’ think she’s gotten it yet. :\ It has to make a trip across the globe to Israel so it may be a while.

But thank you so much. 2"

Beautiful.
One more swan and you could of had another fairy tale covered.

:-) Lisa Eshkenazi replies: "That occurred to me when I was too far in to add another swan. I do want to do something based on that faerie tale though. It’s one of my favorites. <3"

Oh Auntie it’s lovely! But why are there frozen fish in the pond? 12

:-) Lisa Eshkenazi replies: "Not just frozen fish...frozen, *glowing* fish! 17

They’re her evil minions. When you’re a snow queen, no one expects you to use fish minions. She likes it because it gives her the element of surprise. *solemn nod*
