Description
A quick painting (I'm still awful and I don't know how to scan) for the *childrensillustrator monthly topic: Illustrate your favorite song!This is a children song I loved when I was a little child, and I love it even more nowadays. It belongs to María Elena Walsh, who has unfortunately passed away on January this year, so this is my way to thank her for all the joy she bring to me with her songs and books. The original is in spanish and talks about a lady who sleep in a well with her nightie full of moths. It's obviously a charade
The lyric in spanish is:
Duermo en el aljibe
con mi camisón apolillado,
don dolón dolón,
duermo en el aljibe con mi camisón.
No son las polillas,
son diez mil estrellas que se asoman,
don dolón dolón,
por entre los pliegues de mi camisón.
Cuando sale el sol
tengo que meterme en el aljibe,
don dolón dolón,
duermo en el aljibe con mi camisón.
Cuando yo aparezco
todos duermen y la araña teje,
don dolón dolón,
salgo del aljibe con mi camisón.
A ver si adivinan,
a ver si adivinan quién es esta,
don dolón dolón
que está en el aljibe con su camisón.
And you can listen the song here: [link] (the video is not nice at all but pay atention to the song :S)

I love the way you captured her dress as you managed to make it look like water and sky and fabric at the same time.
