Description
© Coral McBride --- Do not alter or use without my permission."Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." ~ Sir Walter Scott
A thief can only take what you own but a liar can take all that you are. Eventually the liar becomes so tangled in their web of lies that they can't break free. Lies can cause irreparable harm not only to the recipient but also to the person telling them and the bigger and blacker the lie the harder it can come back and bite you.
Created in Photoshop CS2 and painted using a Wacom tablet.

Love the vibrant emotion in this piece. Very complex and beautiful.
With your permission, would you mind if I used this as a visual for a scene in a narrative I'm writing? It totally nails it.

Of course! Thanks for your interest in my story, too. I'll contact you when it is finished, but note it may not be done for months at the rate I'm going. >__> The scene is actually apart of a much bigger narrative.
