The Darkness Within

“The Darkness comes from within…”

When I’m down it feels like this horrible darkness is seeping from my gut and engulfing me. It makes everything harder to deal with and it can even make it hard to see or concentrate on anything. I always wish that someone could help me in those times…

One day I sat down and drew that feeling.

    Grand! I love it on the old paper, goes very well with it :-))

  • Vestque replied

    I thought so too! I really like natural textures and I thought it would help give this work some dynamic. I guess it did. Thanks Barb!
