once, we were a
clean, bright dream
of new paint and
smooth angles
on a run into tomorrow
when the world
seemed as new
as we were
we laughed and
loved and put
the top down
in the rain
but we ran
too far, too fast,
losing each other at
a blind curve
now alone, we succumb,
our dream
a rusting hulk
in a forgotten field
as the road runs on
without us
Thanks Cindy, I really appreciate this.
Sorry about the re-post, but I have been experimenting with this image. One of the issues for me was how dark it was printing, so to correct that I moved it into CMYK and adjusted the Hue, Saturation and Lightness. That created some unexpected positive effects, so I decided to exchange the original. Over all, I have been trying to get an image that looks more like a water colour than a photograph.
If you have a mind to.. let me know what you think.
Model A Ford

A delightful blend of verse, color, and image.

Ah, this reminds me of the old (though none of them quite that old) vehicles, I used to stumble upon out in the mountains of Montana when I was a kid. Including one car that was so thoroughly surrounded by trees, I'm not even sure how they drove it in there in the first place.

I don't know if you remember Cindy, but the poem is hers.

Awesome! Β
I may have mentioned Devil's Chin, a place where we kids went to ages ago (back in the 1980s) to get away from parents, rules, and the rest of the incomprehensible world. Β There were a pair of rusted out classic cars there, not like this one, but more like 50s or 60s ... but they had the same reverence since it was a highly wooded place to find them. Β

It sounds like a great place.

It was ... since most of these places are gone on St. Simons Island, the memories are even more treasured than ever before. Β I have found other places that have the same sort of feel, but there is nothing like the original. Β

and for this one too.
You realize of course if it was not for your constant support and information a lot would be lost.

Never a problem Wayne!
Seriously?
π: 0 β©: 1
yup,
you are probably the only person who provides that info.

Neat.. I think!
I am a walking encyclopedia of semi-useless normally unwanted information!

It's I who should be thanking you for the inspiration. I love this picture...
π: 0 β©: 1
that is good to know.
It has given me an idea.

I like this one better than the misty one.
This picture inspired a poem. Would you mind if I use it as a preview?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh wow... of course you can. Can I print the poem below the picture and link to you?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, thank you. I'm glad.
Of course you can. I'd be honored. I'm going to have some sinus medicine to try and get rid of a headache then read it again before I put it up. I'd hate to mess it up.

I will try and watch for it and get it connected as soon as I can.
The pictures is doing well right now (though that can change) so maybe it can be a vicarious moment for both of us LOL.

Tell me what you think...

I wrote seven poems today, so the words are working better for me, too. You must be rubbing off on me.

I love it.
Sorry it took me so long to get back. I have been watching DB play a game.
I have added your poem to the picture and atlached your icon also so people can find you easily.

If you're happy, I'm happy.
DB ridding the world of tons of zombies?
π: 0 β©: 1
lol....
no zombies this time.
I was amused by how he picked the game.
He called Orca over and told him to sit. Then he bent over with a game in each hand and told Orca to shake a paw. Orca lifted his left paw and hit the game in DB's right hand..... the hero in the game is a wolf.... now how is that for a smart dog????
So this is the one he is playing.
π: 0 β©: 1
What system does he have? I can't think of a game with a wolf just right off the top of my head...
π: 0 β©: 1
it's a PS 2 game he is playing on a PS3
it is called Okami

I think the colour is better this time 'round.
But it has a sort of "worked over" look to it?
Maybe soften it a bit? (And with my eyesight I rarely suggest such a thing!)
π: 0 β©: 1
lol...
thanks, I will consider that. I am making a print right now, and that will make the decision.

thanks Lili,
sorry about the re-posts. This one in becoming a work in progress. (I try not to do that, but I am stuck in it right now).

No worries with that Wayne !!

This piece has an interesting texture to it, and I love the detail you can see in all the branches and vegetation.
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks,
You will need to take another look. I reworked it in a different colour space to take advantage of some subtle differences. I like what has changed.
The texture is burlap and it was added in a single white layer above all the other mods.

I think, and this is true for what you had before, but it does have a "painted" quality to it, especially in the grass - they do look like brush strokes. The whole piece also seems brighter and more vibrant in colour.

thanks,
it also prints MUCH better. To me, the screen only goes so far, it is how something looks on paper that is the determining factor becasue so much of what I do ends up there. It could still be tweaked a bit, but for now I will leave it alone. I have learned a fair bit out of this exercise, and it will help for the future.
