I don't know the total cost of Freya's care, only that I don't have it. I have like $30 in my account right now.

I know money's tight for everyone. If you can help, even a dollar or two, I really appreciate it. If you can't, I hope you'll share the thread.

Thank you

acrylic in canvas -
acrylic painting by Zoë Treez - 2025 painted in only reds, purples and black- a vampiric/gothic outdoor setting is depicted on a stretched canvas (gently sitting on a shrub for display). the composition contains a large, pointed castle, positioned slightly to the right of a large glowing full moon. in the foreground, to the left of the canvas, is a twisting dead tree. From the castle to the viewers perspective, there is a grassy path leading you to its ominous structures. surrounded by plants, foliage and trees of various textures. this is an original painting, all done by hand with zero sketch. this painting took a total of about 9 hours. thank you for viewing
