Delicious.

And of course….
Owoooooooo!
Who’s that I see walkin’ in these woods?
Why, it’s Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You’re everything a big bad wolf could want.
Listen to me.

I hit enter to quick, but to say, it was my first thought even though she isn’t wearing any red!

Thomas Dodd in reply to darkestartist’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks DA – By the way – that’s not an apple – I was going to make the orb blue but then I didn’t want anmone saying she was handing out blue balls….

Thomas Dodd in reply to Amanda Hammock’s comment, about 1 month ago

yeah – and it’s unclear who is the really dangerous figure in this one too….

Thanks Ms. Hammock!

hi Thomas, is the girl lost? or is she looking into the globe to see what’s stalking behind her, creative thinking well carried out

RosaCobos, about 1 month ago

She is not lost….
He is lost…
Peeping behind the trees..
a figure that smells of Anima..
Looks…in spite of her cloak..
like the Anima..
Leaves a trail of scent…
like the Anima…
and is holding his own heart..
As the Anima do with men…
Once he has trailed her..
will follow her steps..and shadows..
but not without awe…and fear…
for…..
How can he meet his own paradoxes?
Rosa (precious and cinematographic….could remember me RedRidingHood…but she is not…though this children story hides many misteries of the Soul)

i see a man… on a solitary journey…. about to stumble upon his destiny… perhaps she was waiting for him.. perhaps she will be suprised at his appearance…. but neither of them will ever be the same….......... but hey…thats just what eye see…..................................b

Thanks Vonne!

Thomas Dodd in reply to marshall calvert IPA’s comment, about 1 month ago

Marshall – as Shrinks are fond of saying – “What do YOU think?”
I like to keep the interpretation up to the viewer!

Thanks for the comment!

Thank you as always my friend

Thomas Dodd in reply to gypsycaster’s comment, about 1 month ago

haha – I’ve never been guilty of stalking or spying before in real life, but in art – we can do all those insane crazy things that cause us nothing but pain and misery… all to make a point…
