River Runs Dry

Description

Inspired by "I Am" by Dead Letter Circus. There was a neat interview with the lead singer, saying the song idea came to him when remembering playing in a dried up riverbed when he was a kid, imagining the river could flash flooding in.

Photoshop CS5, Wacom Intuos tablet, approx 8 hours.

This is a beautiful picture. I love the warm, organ lighting of it, making me believe that you, instead of painting a sunset, painted with a sunset. The sharp contrast of the dark, deadened trees against the warm sky is striking.I am enjoying the almost-magical element of the water seeming to come from the tree branch and how the water is raising up and covering the sun., giving the ground look like an underwater shot. Not going to lie, at first I thought the water was clouds...but reading the description made it clear what was going on. Loved this piece!
