The Road


Illustration Friday: Horizon

I finished reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road a while back and it has haunted me since. I tried, with this image, to capture the darkness and the gray landscape that makes the story so vivid yet suffocating.

This image keeps drawing me back to it. I really like night scenes, and the blue hues are nice, as I see them on my browser. However, I get a different emotional response than suffocating or heavy. My feeling is more welcoming and releasing, like I'm "coming home." But I suppose our responses to visual art, music and poetry depend so much on our various experiences and ways of perception.
