Description
"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. "

Revelation 6:7-8

The pale horse is meant to represent death, and along with it, I included several other symbols of death: bones, Cypress, Deadly Nightshade, and Anemone.

In the verses it describes that death will be caused by famine, wild animals, and war, so I included a dead tree, a lion, and various weapons on the ground. The lion also is meant to represent Daniel. I debated weather to make the lion chewing on something or not. I decided not to, to make it more connected to Daniel, but I still think it counts for the wild beasts mentioned.

The bright area is a star, not the moon. It represents Christ. I made the star really bright, so it would not be mistaken for the moon.

I really like the atmosphere in this piece. The cause of death may not be quiet, but the state of being certainly is.

I really liked how it turned out, except for the horse. Something is really bothering me, but it might have to do with the foreshortening.
