It movedSusan sat up in bed. She had only just woken up, but her mind was already running fast, and a strange feeling had taken hold of her.
The shadow of her bed painted an odd silhouette onto the floor, but it was only barely visible in the darkness of the room. The bed was made completely of wood and decorated with rough carvings that added to the oddness of the shadow on the crumpled carpet.
Susan's pillow was laying on the floor next to her doll Lucy. The doll's painted eyes were staring directly at her, and despite their lifeless state they seemed to move for just a split second. Though she knew that wasn't possible Susan had definitely noticed

~o~ Magic Gateway ~o~

This was really easy and fast to paint, mostly because I recycled most of the background from one of my older pics: [link]

At first all I did was play around with different color scemes, then added some stuff here and there and just kept on painting until it looked like this. I wanted to make it look kind of dreamy. I'll probably fool around with it some more some other time.

Critique by ~Whazel May 8, 2009, 3:37:40 PM

This isn't going to be much of a critique I suppose. I see nothing that needs tweaking or changing.
What I do want to say is that I appreciate how you put realism into such surrealism. The flames, her hair, the grass, the ribbon...it's all moving with the wind in the same direction. The depth is wonderful as well and the coloring... it's just so soothing to me.
The detail you've accomplished is phenomenal and really I've rarely seen anything like your work ever. You know I'm an enormous fan, but it's because of the effort that you put into each piece.
Some of the details I noticed to be exquisite is the fire light on the grass, her shadow stretched as it would be coming from a dark place into light and the old weathered marks on the stones creating the arch.

Jerry...You continue to amaze!
