Got the idea for this piece while listening to Young Hearts Spark Fire by Japandroids. I felt it fit Nova's character, especially the line I used for the title.

She's looking at old pictures she took as a kid here, and remembering the good old times. Back then, she used to dream, now she's worried about growing old. Back then, nature seemed to flourish, now it seems to die more and more.

I'm really pleased with the picture, unlike with some previous digital painting experiments, this one finally worked out (or more like, I didn't immediately give up on it). Hope you like it too; critique and comments will be highly appreciated. :)

Yeah. Used to, but not anyone.

Now these days, they're no dreams. Just futures, ones planned for us or ones we plan ourselves.
