Because when your eyes are closed, at least you can dream someone else is there.

whiskered-fish and rainyday: Thank you!

rocketman: Meh. That’s ok, actually. Sometimes art IS meant to portray the ugly side of life. So IF you were being honest about feeling disgusted, that almost means you saw the picture correctly. (Ironic, isn’t it?)
And I honestly do invite you to create art of your own. Not only is it fun and therapeutic, I guarantee that a hundred people will interpret it in a hundred different ways, none of which may be what you originally intended. It’s part of what makes people interesting.
Peace.
