Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
Another little landscape! This reminds me of some of Clive's where a still life includes a landscape (out the window, or else the object is set in the landscape.)

I dealt with Friday by drawing too. I think there's never a bad reason to draw.

Am I allowed to say "Too many spikes, sad and disturbing - no peace".
I guess we all perceive differently.

Of course, Ellena, you can say anything you want here! But the truth is that you've understood the drawing. That is how I felt about the day, and tried to express it in a drawing where peacefulness was merely an illusion.
