Surreal split fantasy artwork of a Venice canal, pale feminine face, and glowing red eyed hooded entity under a blood moon
This dark surrealist oil painting is split down a central feminine face, blending a misty Venetian canal scene with gondolas and historic architecture on the left, and a blasted wasteland with a shadowy hooded demon on the right. A vivid crimson blood moon hangs over the Venice side, while the wasteland side holds cracked glowing red earth, weathered skulls, and gnarled dead trees. The mood is ominously gothic, with a contrasting palette of soft off-white, deep inky black, and striking pops of bright red.

Did I sell out, dear David? A new theme "Samhain" prompted it; right before that, I was doing a DE with Venice—lol.
