04 - DARK

Another work from the other day's walk under the rain. I made it at once but then remade it, and again, and again... until I finally liked it. There are maybe about 5 layers of different colors under the current one - I just couldn't decide which

This is a work made for the Iconographophobia contest from the Be Afraid 2007 Contests. The phobia here is Achluophobia - Fear of darkness (known also as Lygophobia, Myctophobia, Nyctophobia and Scotophobia).

P.S. The original piece is 25x35cm. A close look on the child could be seen here.
