My friend needed a new desktop background, and his only stipulation was 'whatever you want.' ... So I ran every which way. Then I came across `kuschelirmel's new monthly challenge, and decided to channel my randomness.

I honestly don't know why I spent so long on this piece, it kept fighting me every step of the way. I'll leave you to interpret what's happening. I also wasn't sure what category to put this in.. I want to say macabre, but this is very much on the subtle side of macabre. How far do you have to reach to find it before it's enough to become a certain genre?

Couple of brushes I used were by *concept-on-mac. Everything else is mine. No reference.

Love it!
I think it can go just about anywhere. I really don't see it as scary though. More hopeful. The white feathers could be an angel or dove orany thing:D

Really pretty. I don't see how it could be macabre, though. Possibly the dark buildings in the background, though that could just be the architecture of that area as a whole and not the people themselves. But yeah, great job :hug:

It never is about the destination, that's just the incentive to stick it through to the end. Life and everything worth having in it are all about the journey to that destination, the happy place you want to reach.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

Love is patient...and kind; Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs...It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres.

Thank you! :hug: Yeah, you kind of have to read into it to see where the macabre comes from. ^^;

:giggle: I have that song stuck in my head now, I kept playing it over and over again as I was painting. Didn't even watch the video until I was done, lol.
