QUOTH THE RAVEN CHALLENGE #42: DREAM ON! (WEEK 2)

It is Week 2 of the Quoth the Raven, Nevermore Challenge, and I am here to remind and inspire you to come play with us!  For the inspiration for today's art, I chose what I believe is the most well known of Edgar Allan Poe's works, The Raven.  I have used just the first two lines of Stanza 5, but it is really worth reading (or rereading) the whole poem. You can do that here.

 I wanted a dark and dismal feel to my project, so I chose a monochromatic theme, using white, gray and black.  My focal image is from Stampotique Originals and is called Dweeze.

I hope you can find time to get inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and our "Dream On!" challenge this month. This challenge is subject to your personal interpretation; the only rule is that it must--in some way--be related to Edgar Allan Poe.

    Well you certainly achieved that Kay. The monochromatic look is bleak and captivating at the same time. Beautiful work.
