This artwork was inspired by a drawing of my adolesence and a dream I had once.
I had dreamt of myself sitting in the back seat of a limo, unable to see the driver or even stop the car.
The car was driving endlessly through mountains and everytime it passed through a village or a town, the houses would burst in flames. I knew that had something to do with me but I couldn't do anything to stop it.
Finally the car stopped and the door opened automatically. I got out and saw a temple, a huge church. Other cars were arriving there as well and men got out of their cars dressed up in suits. They seemed sad.
A man came to me and explained that there was a funeral going on. He took me in from the back door of the church, from the sacred chamber. I looked up at the ceiling and it was so high and bright that it was almost one with the sky.
In the middle of the church there was a coffin. In the coffin an old woman in a pink dress was sleeping or so it seemed.
You are her only relative the man told me. Everything she owns is yours, but you have to go through those fires first to inherit her wealth...
She seemed unbelievably rich but the flames underneath the churches entrance floor were terrifying. I got upset. I asked the man why couldn't I just get what was rightfully mine -since I was her only relative.
You have to go through fire to claim what is yours, otherwise what's yours will be destroyed by the same flames you refused to cross.
I think I have told this story before, and maybe I wrote it more eloquently, but I have been inspired to paint this dream numerous times before, as I was today, and always feel the need to retell it.
For today's work I used my office art means, markers and pens.

Isn't it always through fire we get to what is to be claimed...?
I have heard and read but have not seen the pictures of your dreams...
Indeed... nothing comes easy, does it?
The tears will take care the flames stops. When flames stops to burn, your smiling face will be in place. At the end it was worth to let go your feelings, it results in a open mind and this beautiful work made.
I like how you see the tears ending the fire, something like rain. Hopefully you are right...
Hey @mariandavp, this is awesome post.
I would like to add a quote here , that may be helpful to bloggers on this platform;
Why You Should Upvote Comments!!!!
I've noticed alot of people doesnt reward their followers, and their commenters on here.
It's a shame.
When someone takes the time to not only read your post but to leave a comment. Even throwing your small vote their way does a lot of great things...
They are More Likely To Follow You
I'm not saying you should upvote every single comment you get. I try and look for those that I feel provide value to the post. When they see that you upvoted their comment and they will be rewarded as a result. This encourages them to follow you; Then you'll have a regular on your post!
You can grow your followers so that they can grow you;
If they choose to keep their Steem in their account, They may power it up. If you continuously are upvoting their great comments, then they will steadily grow overtime. Their vote will be worth even more, and they'll be able to upvote you, The upvotes you gave them helps them grow, so they have more power on the platform.
@mariandavp This seems really interesting... Wondering what i would have done if I had been in this kinda situation. And really nice painting.
Thank you very much, hope I didn't really scare you with the dream!
