Artist's Comments

"I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came and went - and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation; and all hearts
Were chilled into a selfish prayer for light...

The habitations of all things which dwell,
Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed...

And War, which for a moment was no more,
Did glut himself again; - a meal was brought
Gorging himself in gloom: no love was left;
All the earth was but one thought - and that was death...

Unknown who he was upon whose brow
Famine had written Fiend. The world was void,
The populous and the powerful was a lump,
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless -
A lump of death - a choas of hard clay.
The rivers, lakes and ocean all stood still,
And nothing stirred within their silent depths...

They slept on the abyss without a surge -
The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,
The Moon, their mistress, had expired before;
The winds were withered in the stagnant air,
And the clouds perished; Darkness had no need
Of aid from them - She was the Universe."


~ "Darkness" by Lord Byron

My, my...this is unexpected, is it not? Well...maybe I shall give my artistic skills a try. Every once in a while, anyway.

This piece of mine was actually created when I was still in high school many years ago. It is my first ever attempt at watercolors. I have darked the lighting a bit from the original, but other then that nothing has changed.

I began painting it as a regular deadened autumn countryside....but it so happened to end quite ominously. Darkness, it seems, is closing in. Fate has been sealed.

Man, it's been forever ago that you painted that, I was wondering if you'd ever post it. =p Always did like it, too me it looks like the openning of a cave. *shrugs*

When I finally felt like it.
Yes...I suppose it does kind of look like that, as well. One could view it as such in a different kind of light.....or...darkness.

Reminds me of one of those diagrams that explain how fault lines and moving land can cause Earthquakes :XD:
