CHILDHOOD NIGHT VISITORS: hell hounds (c) 2006 elton houck

(c) 2006 Elton Houck...Computer aided art via "Paintbrush." ----------------This series is entitled CHILDHOOD NIGHT VISITORS ...Its all about those "Monsters" hiding in the shadows in our bedroom, or under our bed...and always in our closets! You say, "This is silly, I am a grown adult and that is superstious nonsense . Monsters are only a child's fearful nightmares... Well yes, sure I was afraid of them when I was young and easily fell under the sway of tales of terror and sinister creatures from some Ungodly realm..." -----And I agree, you are corect, those fanciful yarns of thousand-eyed-devils and raoring beasts hiding in the dark of our room, is a childhood fantasy....But have you every gone home to visit (during your adulthood) and your mom and dad put you up in your childhood room...Did you not hear those beasts thrashing about in the dark again...Yes, admit it, they were there just as when you were a wide-eyed frightened child. They were waiting for you to come back home...And even today, do you not ocassionally wake with a strart and quickly turn on the lights as you hear a rustle or a faint growl under the bed or from the closet....The phantom beasts are still there....youj know it and I know it...We are just afraid to admitt that we are all, even now--- only children shaking in the dark!!!

Elton...I like this one a lot! The dramatic pallette...the black shapes... I like the "texture" of the fields of color--much more "hand-done" than computer "filled"...I even like the etch-e-sketch lines....their subtlty in this composition is very engaging---especially how it reads on the different fields of color....well done!
