Beautiful work. Its cool to see that I am not the only one using GIMP. anyways I love the fact that your painting has a vintage look to it.

Thanks! Yeah, I love Gimp, although I've been getting a little frustrated with not being able to update. The new stable version still won't work with my tablet.

Waterhouse is one of my favorite painters, and I was actually shooting for a Pre-Raphaelite look to it, so I'm glad you think it looks "vintage".

Rope dug into Patrick’s wrists as he struggled to free his hands. His hot, damp breath washed over his face, trapped by the fabric sack secured over his head.

A floorboard creaked. Patrick froze, his back rigid against the chair, and strained his ears. Another creak.

“Hello?” he called.

The sound of swishing fabric.

“Who’s there? Where am I? Why’d you bring me here?” Blurred memories swam through his mind: drinking at the bar; stumbling home; a shadow sweeping out from an alley.

Fingers grasped his chin and jerked his head upward. “Hush.” A woman’s voice.

Lilac II - tankaa star-glow
connects their breaths -
a river path.
in lilac light
she forgets to sigh.
