there's an element of surrealism in there. conscious?

Nice intriguing one. I like the two silhouette figures approaching the chairs and table. They seem blissfully unaware of the claustrophobic sky of faces.

Woah, this blog has turned into a real feast for the eyes last time I stopped by! This is one of my favorites yet. It really does have a surreal, dream-like quality about it. Some of the work below is very calming actually. What was this one inspired by? Any good reads maybe?

V, thanks. I should try a larger one. The faces don't betray enough emotions.

Littlefish, yes, it is delibate. I guess one could say it is surrealistic as well as symbolic?

Thanks Johnnynorms. The empty table and chairs, the unawareness, the reflective pond, yes symbols.

Steve, it was at the spur of the moment. I was doing something with two travellers amidst gigantic trees when I decided to deviate. It wasn't inspired by any recent work I have read.

Thank you Alina! Thanks for dropping by.

Yes, Ari, it's a pond.
