Description
A haunted house stands on a bluff overlooking the sea, a black cat in the window. The full moon casts an eerie glow over the scene, illuminating the family cemetery next to the house, its wrought iron fence fallen into disrepair. A raven sitting on a rock catches the attention of the ghost of Lenore as she makes her way towards the house up the wet path, shimmering from the rain. Lightning bolts lance through the clouds as another raven soars through the night. Inspired by both Poe's "The Raven" and the haunting beauty of the Carmel seaside, this Halloween landscape is part of the Dreamscapes series, which combines my original paintings with digital enhancements. The grunge texture and imperfections give the piece a weathered, gothic feel, adding a somber tone to the palette of teal, sepia, yellow, orange, magenta and purple.
