landscapes of depression

AKA, Liz's continuing adventures in RE arts-&-crafts. *sigh*
The top drawing was meant to be a picture about love -- either an illustration of the concept of love, or of a specific thing (or person) that I love. Except it seems to have turned into a milder variation of my old depression sketches. (Of which the bottom drawing is the only example I still have saved; I threw most of them out because who wants to dwell on that shit?) It's mostly open sky instead of jagged mountains closing off the horizon, but the weird color choices and the rhythmic repetition of forms are similar and rain is not what I'd call a cheerful subject.
(It can be a peaceful subject! Which is what I suspect I meant to draw -- soft gentle rain over trees and water -- but yeah, not quite what I ended up with.)
...
I think I need to get more sleep. :-/
