Artist's Comments

I did this piece for the The Great Big Gorjuss Brothers Grimm Contest, and of course, this is the leading lady from "Rapunzel". Why did I choose to illustrate from Rupunzel? Because her hair is freaking long. Yep, it's the hair. Can you imagine having SO MUCH HAIR? I always wondered why she didn't just cut it herself, hang it out the window, and climb down herself. Anyway, I tried to imagine what it would be like to have hair about 5 stories long, and thought about how much trouble it would be to style. So I imagined poor Rapunzel practically getting engulfed by her own hair. OK, enough about inspiration. All I have to say now, is that the next painting I do.....no hair. I got so tired of painting hair! *shakes fist at Rapunzel!* It took about 3 hours just to paint her hair.....

I adore the look on her face. Not quite despairing, not quite angry, but certainly very very tired and a bit frustrated. :)
