Picture taken in the park a while back through the mesh wire of the tennis court. A combination of two images pieced together with the rain was added at the editing stage. 

The quote is by Roger Miller (musician) and the font is Amatic.

The image went with my mood. I've been fighting off a cold (and losing the battle) all week... hence no posts. I was too busy sneezing!

Image taken at Hedingham Castle. I've changed the view through the window, added the water, the mist, the crow and the necklace... and changed the colours and played around with it quite considerably. LOL I like the fairytale atmosphere. :-) I think this would make the perfect book cover.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

House by the Sea

MCN: CRCUC-XA3YY-YA1SL

I've always wondered what it would be like to live by the sea, to smell the sea and feel the waves when it's stormy. This is what I came up with. :-)

Spring in Tokyo

Through a Glass Darkly

MCN: CQ2RK-9UQUG-4URSD 

I've always loved this phrase and wondered what it meant and how it (probably) has a different flavour for each one of us. This is how it looks to me. :-) The phrase is from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:12 - see here.


There are three more images in this series, which I'll post over the next few days. :-)

Fringe - Detail Shots

Some detail shots of my Fringe painting/altered art: 

The winged girl:

The butterflies and the ribbon tree and key:

The skeleton in the wall:

Unfortunately RB does some processing to the preview images which washes out a lot of the detail. :-(

Fringe

 

Photo manipulated image to illustrate the poem Fringe  by Autumnwind.

When I first read the poem I was bowled over and my head was full of images. I told Shar how much I liked it and that I would love to illustrate it for her. She was pleased about that and encouraged me to do so. This is the result. :-)
