"...She was too proud not to believe in success, but time flies too fast... And life seemed just wasted and useless."

Elsa in despair and restless, in the hard times of 1940, after the loss of her father and a serious injury, facing another breakdown.

Entry for  silber's contest.
Approximate 25x25 cm of mixed media, tempera and watercolour with pastel, charcoal and a slight touch of colored pencil. Done on canvas-textured watercolour paper, which makes me just love it irl. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....elsadetail.jpg - detail shot where texture is quite visible.
The view from the window represents her state of mind, dark, delirious and sort of sick.

I tend to like it anyway.
