Interesting interpretation in art. Quite expressive. I am not familiar with the song and hence unable to comment more. All I can say is this does hold story telling promises and I find it interesting. Nightmare or no nightmare.

    Thank you very much. There is not more to the song as the story comments. It is mostly symbolic for how the narrator sees the fortuneteller in her emotional enhanced mind.
Comment from Becky M


I like the eyes, they are deffinately the focal point. I like the red in the middle too. It's a little un clear what is in the bottom right corner. I love the hidden 3 of spades. overall Good Work.

    Thank you for your kind review. In the right corner is the back view three cards and part of a hand. In the center of the ornaments is the painted picture of a cat. these carts are symbolising the tarot cards the fortuneteller is using.

    Thank you for the kind reply.
    By the way the red in the middle is a dancer. Can you see that?
reply by Becky M on 14-Aug-2010
    Is it more of an abstract dancer. I f yes then I can see the body and a flairing dress but if not then I don't see it yet.

    Thank you. Your answer is very interesting for me that you see an abstract dancer. It is always in question for the artist what the viewer sees. I used a photo of a dancer so for me the dancer is very real but that is because I know.

    Your welcome I will deffinately try to look with a different perspective on the dancer. It is fun to see peoples perspectives on different things. :]

Comment from mayapet


Excellent depiction of the theme Nightmare. Nightmare, indeed, the photo shows, mystery, drama, suspense, a gaze into the unknown, a look into the mind of the viewer. Very eye-captivating. I love the bright colors of the accent, and the way they transition into softer colors. Great work, and good luck in the contest!
