I've been wanting to try painting this kind of subject matter for quite a while, so when the local art association called "Imagination" as the monthly challenge topic I finally had my excuse. So yes, this literally was just imagined in my head without a reference photo of any kind, without even drawing it, I just went right to laying paint on the canvas. And the nice part about it is that as a viewer, you get to imagine whatever back story you'd like.
