Description For IOW#5- "Crossing the Marshes" on ConceptArt.org. I was going for an illustrative look, with the thought that it might be a scene from an imaginary kids or young adult fantasy book.

So far it looks like I completely ate it on this entry- dead last! Oh well, at least I learned from it!

The backstory in my head behind this image- the protagonist depicted is the reluctant assistant to a witch who specializes in brewing potions. She is sent on a series of strange adventures in a surreal fantasy realm to get ingredients for a potion which can cure the illness of a girl who has bullied her for years. Along the way, the main character gains the self-confidence needed to disarm the bully.

I like this painting but it reminds me of what I saw during "katerina" (the hurricane, don't know how we spelled it). I was in the middle of moving to my new house when it hit (I live in Al). My great aunt told me she got in her boat and paddling down the streets of New Orleans, so that's what it looks like in this pic-scary......


but I really like it, great job!

This is so cool! It has a nostalgic, "Wonderlandish" feel.

Whether it fits a contest or not--which come and go--it is a striking image.

Kids or young adult fantasy book is the first thing I thought of even before I read the description. Great job.
