Things I Did

Hand painted, gel nail varnish

The Starry Night ~ Vincent Van Gogh (1889)

The Scream - Edvard Munch (1893)

Two of my all time favourite artists, chosen because of the opposing colour schemes, both sets create the full works when correctly arranged.

These are some things I did..

“Neil wasn't ready to see his reflection again. He was less ready to see the "4" tattooed on his left cheekbone.”

The Raven King - Nora Sakavic

Is it accurate to the scene? No. Is it finished? No. Has it been a WIP for 5years? Yup…

“Renee was a mystery. The Foxes' senior goalkeeper had bright white hair cut to her chin. The bottom two inches of her hair were dyed in alternating pastel colors. It was interesting enough to warrant a second look, but downright odd when paired with her scant make-up, conservative clothes, and delicate silver cross necklace.”

The Foxhole Court - Nora Sakavic

“Riko snagged a box to shove Jean into. He’d spent three days curled up in it as it crumpled under the weight of everything Riko piled on top of it, face pressed to the sagging wall where Riko had left him the smallest of holes for air.”

“He stood halfway down the porch from the tub so the others wouldn't have to smell the cigarette smoke and lit up. He turned the cigarette between his hands, dimly aware of the others' laughing conversation, more aware of the taste in his mouth. He ran his tongue along his teeth, wondering what to think.

In the end the cigarette was enough to tip the scales. Andrew smelled of cigarette smoke and whisky the night he gave Neil a key to his house and told him to stay. Neil was always going to carry his past with him, but he didn't have to be weighed down by it. With enough time he could smooth the wretched edges out and replace his triggers with better memories.

Andrew came up alongside him and set the bottle of scotch at his feet. Neil slid his cigarettes across the wooden railing toward him”
