The Oranges in the Tunnel

"Friend, absent one, exile, I can tell you that your tunnel is still there,
mud-walled and hallowed of earth, through which you smuggled
oranges into the city––oranges!"

   --From "Letter to a City Under Siege", a poem by Carolyn Forché, written to a friend from Sarajevo

I painted this today.

Reminds me of the streaming souls in the last book of the Golden Compass trilogy.

That is the most "you" looking painting ever.

This is beautiful. I see faces among the oranges, ghostly faces.

Oh, wow.

Thank you, ArtSparker, Marz, Crow, and Zhoen!
