Once I saw a picture of a nebula and thought "Hmmm, that looks like a bird". And as it so often occurs in my life, sure enough some days later I saw the bird as a statue - a benu.
The benu is an extinct crane that was the inspiration for the phoneix mythology of the Egyptians, the bird that set fire to its own nest and rose from the ashes.
Since the connection between the phoneix and the nebula, where stars are reborn from the dust of the universe, I had to paint it.
Oh wow that's really stunning O.O You used some nice colors to paint it. What did you use for it? A computer program like photoshop or did you actually paint it *that'd be hard O_O* I see people do these and can't quite figure out how they've done it. I'd love to make something like this!

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

With her long eyelashes fluttering like she was dreaming.
