:shock: :shock: This one is letting out a whole lot of pent-up emotion and frustration Fab!! No need for a shrink - you are letting go of all your wasted energy and that's great . This shouts at the world that Fabiola has come through the fire and is stepping out the other side a new woman - ready for the adventure to begin. What is past is cleansed by the fire, no need to look back any more.!!

The rainbow awaits, step forward with confidence - and don't trip over that Bluebird........ :wink:

I love the image Fab. Just not sure about the choice of this shade of red. Perhaps a darker angrier shade of red/orange to portray the hades of the glades in the middle of summer; the heat; the humidity; the mosquitoes... :twisted:

Excellent, I can see Munch's "Scream' in it as mentioned, but it also reminds me of van Gogh's "Starry Night"

Well done!!

Fab, Great title and I like sinister effects of the swirls and the penetrating designs on the horizon. Agree with Mike that I'd like seeing a darker red.
