Artist's Comments
There is no sense in secrecy, my love--not here, while you're with me.

This painting was born of pure spite.
Some time ago, a friend of mine blogged about some small-time fantasy publisher (or something of a similar ilk--it's been a while) that banned depictions of homosexuality. This in itself is enough to raise my ire, but the kicker was that it was listed in the same line as actual crimes (rape being one, if I recall correctly), as though it was somehow just as reprehensible.
I was not impressed.
I did the sketch for this sometime last year, and it remains my roundabout one-fingered salute to the homophobes of the fantasy art world, and a picture of gentleness for the rest of us.

I agree totally with the sentiment about homophobia.

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me, locked inside reality's maze
Can't someone make my heavy heart light?
It all starts with a lullabuy...

Who are the two women?
(There are definitely not enough pictures like that, one of my best friends is gay...)

And now, a public service announcement: Don't feed the Yao Guai. That is all.
That deal about the publisher really ticks me off.
I admire you for drawing this picture, for you really did capture the essence of love and gentle delight between lovers.

For a bit I actually thought the white-haired one was female. Now, the painting is fine to me either way, but it doesn't seem to work the best as a comment on homosexuality.
As well, reading the comments, now I'm wondering... is it supposed to be a gay couple or a lesbian couple? I can't tell. You've mastered the art of androgyny too well!

What is love? 'tis not hereafter;
present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty.
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty;
Youth's a stuff will not endure.
