@kat I really like it, I especially like the empty chair

@lmrush, that's very kind, thank you.

Here's my entry I loved swimming but, as small child, was always terrified of what lied beneath the surf...however irrational in a swimming pool .

Mine is meant to be a visual metaphor for what fear feels like, specifically the way we freak ourselves out about things that won't ever happen. I made the snake less solid looking to represent the idea of an imagined fear.

To quote Mr. Beaver from The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe
"Bath day, worst day of the year."

“The Deep Dark Wolf crept closer, watching patiently as the band of late-night adventurers headed towards his woods...“

The Deep Dark Wolf is probably my kids “Worst Fear”. This ambiguous larger than life creature was born from the stories I tell my kids at night. Slick, sly and fiendish, he obsessively fills their imaginations with surprise, thrills, and chills whenever he shows up to antagonize them.

I am currently pretty busy, but couldn’t miss out on creating something for this topic (I love scary things!!!) Let me know what you think and feel free to visit my website, instagram and/or Facebook.

Acrylic A4. Subtitled by my sons as the boy who bit off more than he could chew. I prefer meatball revenge.
Huge thanks to Will for his blending acrylics vid. I've been hunting a way of making drybrushing work for a few years and couldn't figure it out!

This is an ant's worst fear. Experimenting with different brushes. Going for painterly, but finished looking. Great job to everyone who has submitted!
