I originally started this as a painting of Mara based on the model in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, however after layers upon layers of leaves and foliage, it turned into something much more earthen and adopted an entirely different kind of symbolism. Shrine to the hallows (spirits) - from which Halloween's roots originate. :)

This piece was inspired by nights spent looking up at the stars on the Gold Coast, where streetlights illuminated the beach paths and the black maw of the ocean rocked the fishing trawlers to sleep. Circa January 2014.
