Today I am trying the Collage Obsession Challenge from Elegia and Itkupilli. The challenge was this mansion and the word prompt Abandoned. The first thing that came to mind was a woman left alone with her child - through divorce or death. So, here the lady of the house is with her child watching as her things are sold, taken away so she can take care of her child. Above her sits her protector or totem wondering how to help. The woman is wondering how to teach her child never to make a commitment he can not keep. How to explain why they were abandoned...
Lovely grungy treatment of the photo, Elizabeth. I like the accompanying story, though it's sad. The movers carrying out the painting are an effective focus.
ReplyDeleteAgree, sad story, but fits the word for this challenge. Wonderfully done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heart-wrenching story, Elizabeth! Yet, your piece illustrates this sad story so beautifully. Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, Elizabeth, you have created a whole story around this house!
ReplyDeletePowerful. :)Bea
ReplyDeleteOh no, what a sad story. It's amazing how you create such a story in your collage. This is really touching, but fascinating too.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the lady find out a way to manage eventually!
