the peppermint forest

Hello, hello!

Here's hoping everyone is having a more autumn-y autumn than here in Florida! A brisk autumn-esque wind teased us but a few weeks ago, and left as soon is it went =/ If it weren't for the pumpkin patch around the corner, and all of my lovely scrumptious fall scents, I'd think it was mid-summer. Boooo. o.O

Here is the next Curiously Creeping Coast painting, a charming little nymph called Thora, who sadly enough - has gone missing.


Thora, 7" x 9" acrylic on wood panel


At the edge of the forest,
in a grotto by the sea -
Lived a little lass,
not much more than three;
On a gallant sea horse,
she used to like to ride,
In the early morning
and late evening tide;
When on a windy evening,
the waves were certainly high -
It was the last that anyone saw her,
as she waved to them goodbye.
