Check her gallery, if you haven't yet, you will be amazed!

the title came from the song with the same name:

Das Lied Vom Einsamen Mädchen

Sie herzte sanft ihr Spielzeug
Bevor sie es zerbrach
Und hatte eine Sehnsucht
Und wußte nicht wonach

Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Und wer von diesem Wein trank
Konnt' nie mehr glücklich sein

Doch einer sprach im Frühling:
"Auch Du fühlst Lust und Schmerz"
Und brach ihr tausend Rosen
Doch sie brach nur sein Herz

Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein
Ja, keine konnt' so küssen
Und doch so einsam sein

Was blieb von ihrem Leben
Ein Lied, das niemand sang
Sankt Peter ließ sie warten
Zwei Ewigkeiten lang

Weil sie einsam war
Und so blond ihr Haar
Und ihr Herz so tot wie Stein
Dann rief er: "Armes Kind, komm,
Sollst nie mehr einsam sein"

English translation:

The Song of The Lonely Girl

Tenderly she cradled her toy
Before she smashed it up
A longing filled her heart
What for, she did not know

For she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her mouth as red as wine
And whoever drank of this wine
Could never know happiness again

Yet, someone spoke up in springtime:
You, too, know pleasure and pain."
He brought her a thousand roses
Yet she only broke up his heart

For she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her mouth as red as wine
Yes, no one could kiss so
And still be so lonely

What remained of her life
A song which no one sang
St. Peter kept her waiting
For ages

For she was lonely
And her hair so fair
And her heart as dead as stone
He called forth: "Come, poor child,
You shall never be lonely again."

Oh how lovely. I usually like the original photos more than the paintings made thereafter, but this is an exception <3

That´s a very good drawing! Of course it does not exactly look like the orginal photo, but that doesn´t matter, because your version gives you the same feeling as the orginal: The feeling of looking under the mask of a cold, lonely and sad girl. Therefore I think the song fits very well and you´ve done a good job on this picture!

thanks a lot for the feedback! yes, i love this song so much, it really means much to me! and oh, yes, my drawings never look exactly like originals, 'cos i am not very skilled artist yet!
