Description
Winken, Blinken, and Nod one nightSailed off in a wooden shoe --
Sailed off on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"
Said Winken,
Blinken,
And Nod.
Eugene Field, 1850-1895

Thank you so much, I have a huge weak spot for dreamy, moonlit sort of things so of course I love the poem too.

Really fabulous, great composition, it really lends a nice sense of movement, and the contrasting textures show such nice control

The moon and the sky are gorgeous, and the verses going round the picture give it this amazing story-book feel. You should illustrate fairy books, you know.
