Spirits Within

Crystal Cote

My mood changed as I worked on my painting. I was happy when I began.....

The mood of the painting began as tranquil and silent. It is a sunny day,
and we are by the cool waters of a creek. The trees obscure much of the
sunlight.

The introduction of the eyes creates a new situation. Mysterious, not
exactly threatening, but creating dream-like tension.

How does it make you feel? Alarmed? Gloomy? Annoyed? Delighted?
