Wind-Hearted"Abigail, the air con's on. Wind up the window now. Why do you even need it open?"

"Because-

-because having the wind in my face, stinging my skin, reminds me I'm alive. Because it feels good- more than good, in fact. It's like having pure energy pouring into you, as though you could lean against the wind and borrow some of it's strength, just for a little. When the window is down and there's one less layer between you and the world, that's wonderful. When you can smell the hot tarmac and the petrol fumes and the grass and the burning plastic and last night's rain and the river and over-heating metal, that's when I come alive. The whole wor

Survivor DreamsI have kissed the rain, love, and it feels like dreaming was supposed to be; it feels like the promise of newness, the vision of a world swept clean. As if nothing existed before you, before me, before ideas and rules and lines. There is only a kiss, and the water running, running, running. Did you know that as much as we run, we'll never get away? But there are ways to fall into the awayness, to know that everything could catch up but we will always stay the same. Stay forever.

I know we need that hope. It exists. Stay with me, we exist.

I have been kissed by the dark, love, and it is what nightmares are made of; it's the essence of emptin

DestinationTime shifts in another direction;
The road leads to you,
Theoretically.
The horizon yields unto me
A ceaseless plane
Punctuated with only a
Mountain.

I've set out on my journey
I feel only the hot sun
And the cold moon.
Marking the progress on
This path
Seems fruitless with so far
To go still ahead.

Let my feet be fleet,
Let the mountain dissolve,
Let the desert fields recede.
Let me be cradled in your energy,
Let me lay within and beside;
I want this peace.

Red Dragonby *CATtheMinion

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

06/09/12 One of the side panels of a triptych.
12 X 16" canvasboard, acrylic paint, not varnished. i had laid out the basic color patches about 4 years ago and had some things going on that delayed completion. I believe I basically painted this in about 6 hours, split between 4 or five sessions. I used no references for this picture, except for glancing quickly at the dragon pair painting to get an idea of the mountain styling and the color of the sky.
Here's a more true to life image of the colors, but a little less finely detailed [link]
