Description

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn (Prélude à l'Après-midi d'un faune)is a musical piece written by Claude Debussy (1862 - 1918) The prelude, "Afternoon of a Faun," suggested by the symbolic poem of Mallarmé, "L'Après-midi d'un faune," was performed for the first time in Paris, in 1894. Notwithstanding the somewhat obscure text of the poem, the composer has accompanied it with delicate, expressive, and graceful music significant to the sensuous, pleasure-loving nature of the Faun. It is in effect a pastoral rhapsody. "The delicious hour grew vaguer. Experience or dream, he (the Faun) will never know which it was. The sun is warm, the grasses yielding ; and he curls himself up again after worshiping the efficacious star." ~Edmund Gosse

OK, so this isn't a fawn in the image....think "suspension of digital disbelief"...or is that "digital suspension of disbelief" :o) ...just the first thing that popped in my head after completing this and I thought it kinda fits. Hope everyone is having a great day so far, and many thanks for all the comments and favorites....I am always grateful !!! ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina *

Ah, yes, but in the digital world, in the art world, why can't there be a female faun? And even still, perhaps if you look very closely at her, you can see that from her hiding place, she is entranced by the faun in the sunshine!

Great and different work Mina. Love that black and white thing. Really brings some focus. Those small white grains really does something to the picture. Heard that song on youtube...very nice nature painting. Well... my head did not go-bang... But a fine compostion for those with sleeping probs #:o)+5
