Surreal Picture Prompts

I have recently found some art by a totally awesome artist, Vladimir Kush. He makes amazing surreal art.

Here's where to find some of his art: http://www.vladimirkush.com/editions.php
Please be prompted by one of his pictures!

Some of my favorites are Atlas of Wander, Candle, Departure of the Winged Ship, Eye of the Needle, Haven, Icarus, Metamorphosis, One Flew Over the Wasp's Nest, Ripples on the Ocean, Stopped Movement... but choose whichever. They are all wonderful.

Some rules: NOTHING INAPPROPRIATE FOR SOMEONE AGED ELEVEN. I think you can guess fairly well what would be as well as what would NOT be appropriate.

PLEASE PUT THE NAME OF THE PICTURE YOU WROTE ABOUT IN YOUR AN. PLEASE.

You are welcome to enter up to three times.

I may close the contest if, as usual, there aren't enough entries.

Good luck!
