Pillars of trees

Another Zela picture! This time, I went for setting rather than character, and this picture is much better than I expected.

This picture was inspired, as began to happen more and more frequently, by music: La cathedral engloutie, par Debussy. Someone I knew played it at a masterclass, and I was enthralled… so pretty……..

Anyway, so, as well as imagining a weed-draped stone structure with light filtering down from above, and water gushing out as it rises, I also imagined a great hall of glass and stone trees for pillars, and as the sun sets, it falls full on two thrones at one end (in this picture, out of sight on the right), illuminating two figures sitting there: Flar and Stria! Stria is one incarnation, at least, of Flair’s mother.

The little words and the arrow pointing to the girl say ‘scale figure’. My brother says he thinks it’s a good picture!
