Rapunzel's Sorceress

This is a painting I did of the Sorceress in the story of Rapunzel. After discovering that Rapunzel had frequent visits from a prince, she cut off her hair, cast her into the wilderness and then tricked the prince into climbing the tower one last time. She told him that Rapunzel was dead, and he was so distraught, that he threw himself from the tower and landed in bushes of thorns. This gouged his eyes so that he was blind, and he wondered aimlessly through the wilderness until he finally found Rapunzel again.
