Marina--WOW! I love it! The color accentuates the fairy-tale archetypal quality. I feel the importance of what you are saying, but you say it totally without artifice or pretension. It's beautiful and moving. The idea that the little girl comes from those mysterious woods, the slight feeling of nervousness I get with the thought that the woods are behind her, is disconcerting because I would expect a little child to be on the other side of the wall from the woods, maybe looking into the woods. (At least that is the stereotype.) So this is the unexpected and strange quality. What does she know? It's intriguing because from this dark unknown emerges a child who is innocent in the sense that she is trusted by the bird. I could look at it a long time and wonder about it.
