SF&F Picture 32 out of 62 by Norma Peters.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Dreadful Hollow

From Tennyson's poem, 'Maude: Part I':

I hate the dreadful hollow behind the little wood;
Its lips in the field above are dabbled with blood-red heath,
The red-ribb'd ledges drip with a silent horror of blood,
An Echo there, whatever is ask'd her, answers 'Death.'

The scene of a long-ago tragedy, still haunted by an unpleasant atmosphere of horror and despair. Who is she? Why does she come here? She is being watched. Can you see the almost-hidden eyes?

17 Feb 2007	Huness	Loading... Has anyone noticed the face at the bottom of the picture? I was reading the comments and scrolling down till all that was showing was the bottom of her dress and her feet and the ground. Does anyone see what I see or I'am I imagining it?That particular face was entirely accidental. I didn't notice it until I had finished the picture.
