Wonderland I: Nightmare

 
 
 
 
This is the first illustration in a mini series to accompany my poem Wonderland.

The poem is about dreams and this is the depiction of nightmares. I've tried to pack in as many of the fears most people encounter in their nightmares as I could think of. LOL 
There'll be another one or two to follow.

Shingle Street

These shots were taken at Shingle Street at the Suffolk Coast. The beach has a very interesting (and mostly secret) history.

I thought the image was totally 'Zen' and I certainly felt totally peaceful sitting at the beach and listening to the sea (and snapping away).

I didn't do much to the photographs apart from a little enhancing and a single texture, and I am so pleased with the depth of colour in the pebbles and the light reflected off them.

Together

More boats at Orford. :-)
I felt this was such a romantic view, I had to do something with this. Normally I don't include text, but in this case I made an exception. I think it would be a fabulous card for an anniversary or to show support to a friend.

Stranded

I finally got to spend the day by the sea yesterday. After a really interesting visit to Bawdsey Radar Trust (check it out here) we made our way along the coast and stopped at Shingle Street and Orford.

This picture was taken at Orford. I loved the contrast of the peeling turquoise paint next to the red rust and the tattered beauty of the boat. (Click on the image to see it larger.) I had to remove the background for both shots as they were too busy and distracting and replaced them with a couple of sky pictures and added textures.
