Window of Good vs Evil - Digital Collage




















Print Available

Window of Good vs Evil

Created for The Three Muses weekly challenge.

When I started this piece, I actually had something else in mind, something light, positive, cheerful.

Then I got a lovely knock on the door with some not so great news.
...and lets just say my mood plummeted in the middle of this piece and took a turn towards the dark side.

Art heals though and I did feel better as I completed this piece, but as you can see.
...there's my take on how I view the current economy and what happened with lenders and the housing market.

Window is from an Etsy Seller (don’t remember who)

Background was a sky background from a deviant artist that I tweaked until unrecognizable.

  4. It has a dark heart but you have captured the darkness behind the window and in the end the light definitely triumphed. Marvellous!

  9. Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments!

    @Indybev - Yes, art can be a very helpful tool for healing. :-)

    @Elizabeth - The bad news won't turn positive unfortunately, still trying to finish up a mess from almost a year ago thanks to the economy/real estate collapse. It sucks and I'm tired of it. Most of my days are spent trying not to think about it. I just keep pushing forward. Thanks for your kind words!
