Cthulhu Diary - Southampton Docks

Another painting for the Cthulhu Diary personal project.

Our hero and narrator departs from Southampton Docks for Plymouth where he'll then make his way to the diabolical town where our story takes place.

As the sun sets, it provides a departing warmth, as though taking mirth with it far below the horizon and allowing its counterpart to settle almost imperceptibly in its stead. Then, as punctual as the arrival of the ship, the sun's mortal enemy, the clouds, gather to conspire against the last rays and brings its brothers and sisters; the wounded winds, the cold canopied firmament and somber whispers, who's origin lies not outside us. The Skies have taken their position, and the seas are usual to observe their authority but let us pray otherwise and that the journey might accommodate the simple needs for calm on a man's travels into the unknown.
