Beautiful play of light and shadow in this work!
Very nice illo!
this reminds me of my childhood.
A wonderfully warm and buttery painting for the IF theme this week, Janice. Quick now! Under those covers! :)
The bed looks very comfortable and I agree, it was always a source of comfort and feeling of security. In fact as a grown up, I love being under the covers especially on cold nights, at least the scary shadows are not gigantic anymore. Very nice shadow rendering.
OH! yes I remember my old covers in my childhood..
I love the colors you use.

I can feel the warmth coming into this room. Even that little "monster" couldn't chase the comfort away!

I love your perspective and your warm colors! Nice. Thanks for your comments too. Hope life is kind to you...
You've really captured that childhood abhorence of the dark and the desire for the glowing light! Emotionally compelling and beautiful!
Ah yes. Childhood. When blankets ruled the world. Or something. Really like the use of color and shadows. Great job.
Beautiful coloring! And, you're right about blankets having the "power" to protect and shield us from unpleasant things.
Beautiful! Ha! I'd forgotten that blanket could keep monsters away...
ooooh i love the coloring (and the spookiness) of this!!
and thank you so much for the lovely comment you left me :0)
Beautiful composition and so attractive perspective! I love this colors choice. Very expressive concept! :)
This is great Janice.....! Blazing hearths crackle with primal energy ...... wood smoke filled nostrils..... no sneaky monsters dare enter.... so long as the fire bath fills the room in light, chasing back dark shadows..... BE the light .... Ignore dancing shadows ..... Absorb, Radiate back, Good will triumph........ come morning. JN
