    Uf! This is fantastic! Almost felt of my chair from looking at it! Absolutely love the angle of stairs and composition with open door and girl back towards us, black & white floor is great to give more attention on blood and dead body. And the lamp that creates shade on blue background is so real!How can you just imagine all this and paint it? I am amazed , swept of my feet, hehe! Like I always say, your art is a pure joy for me!

  • ROUBLE RUST replied

    hehehe!!! This is really from the first ideas I always had but (like a very very very very very patient person I am) I was waiting for the right time xx I read this poem and I just have to do it xx I couldn’t be more pleased really and that’s why I do appreciate and love your words my hon xxx Thank you sooooo much :))))
    I wish I could post the poem here but I can’t xx If you ever find the book “Now We Are Sick: An Anthology of Nasty Verse” and you have dark funny sick mood you must read it xx It’s really amazing!

    AAAAhhhh! Yes you’ve succeeded here, Rouble!
    A superb concept painting. Nice and creepy and universally understood by all viewers!

  • ROUBLE RUST replied

    Wow, thank you SO much Colin! This is one of my fav too for all time :)))
    A very classic nightmarish “dream” idea, that’s in my brain from always and I have seen in many forms and from many big artists that I love – like Tim Burton. When I read the poem “The Thing at the Top of the Stairs” by Sharon Baker – part of the collection Now We Are Sick, I got shocked!! The time had came to do it…

    This is a great painting. Hey have you read ‘The Little Stranger’ by Sarah Waters – this subject really reminds me of that book…I recommend it if you like ghost stories (I do).

  • ROUBLE RUST replied

    Thank you so much dear. I haven’t read it but I did make a little google search right now (I read a synopsis too) and I’m gonna order it :))) I’m so excited to read it, I looove ghost stories – in any form (!) thank you so much for the suggestion!!
