Nursery Rhymes 8 (Little Miss Muffet)

For my last illustration I have revisited Little Miss Muffet. As you can see she is very different from my initial roughs (see: Nursery Rhymes 2). You will notice she is indoors, rather than outdoors as is traditional; this is because I feel it makes more sense. I did wish to include furniture but time did not allow for such a luxury.

I first tried to paint in some more Victorian looking windows, but the complexity meant it was proving hard to do and being conscious of time, I simplified them down. Unfortunately the painting is a bit bigger than my scanner so you cannot see the left window in the above image. I do like the peaceful view offered by the right window.

I've tried to give Little Miss Muffet a shocked expression on her face. You may not be able to see it on the computer screen, but there is a spider hanging from it's line dangling in front of her.

The Laura Rigo image for comparison is below. You can see how my compostion is entirely different.
