Nevermore

I'm drawn to pale colors and the dreamy look with altered images.  This is a little different.  It is from a lesson in my Art of Texture class.

It makes me think of Edgar Allan Poe and his poem The Raven.  The beautiful jacaranda tree is about two blocks away from my house.  Every year it wears the most beautiful dress of lavender and is just radiant. This treatment gives it a somewhat ominous appearance necessary for that vintage spooky look.
