Artist's Comments
I'm really happy with this one, another sketchbook assignment.
Another Borley Rectory piece. So, in a nutshell, a monk and a nun fall in love and try to elope, but they're discovered; the monk is hanged and the nun is bricked up in the tunnels under the monastery/church area, later to be the site of the Borley Rectory, which was famous for the monk and nun haunting until it burned down in the 1930s. The messy flower in the back is a gardenia, symbolic of purity and secret love. And yeah, it totally looks like American Gothic, haha. Gouache one toned paper |

 reports, 1d 7h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

This is really nice.
I never do well on assignments. The teacher always thinks its lovely but I'm never satisfied.
Why are they bleeding from the nose though, if they died in those other ways? Artistic licence?

Wow! Would ya look at that!? --> [link]
I love the contrast of the red on white/blue. It's like the picture is quite ethereal and the blood brings the whole piece back to earth, or together.
LOL I DUNNO. Just rambling now.
None the less, I approve.

White = purity
Blue = associated with the Virgin Mary (like white) and heaven
Red = passion and violence
Purple = combination of blue (virginity/holiness) and red (passion/violence)
