and they gazed into battle, his thoughts like an army behind him, hers as a solid shield before him, and all he could think of was his hand on her neck, looking ahead at the time they didn’t have
dark and ashen was the dress life had chosen for her to wear, left alone with only a feathered fan, frayed and tattered as her soul. left in shattered pieces drifting beside her, in between, glimpses of the dreams she once had and cherished, and hung on to as the fan she held in her hands. glimpses, she couldn’t know, would remain only that. until kindled, bright and ablaze, burning as hot as her desired always did and perish
Original painting is “Anna Bilinska” by Emmeline Deane
Keep Your Eyes Wide Open This was supposed to be just some general hands and lighting practice in oil, but it’s turning out to be symbolic and kind of personal thing. For me, as cliche as it sounds, red rose does represents love. But as always, it has its thorns and nothing good comes without a price, without pain and sacrifice. The eyeball represents that no matter how good of a relationship you’re in, you always have to keep your eyes wide open.
