― Artistic Expression Showcase ⇒ bird in hand series

[PietFrancke]

thank you Min and Frank (thanks Frank about the brushwork - I'll fix that), I must be getting jaded to the process, I liked this one least... But the yellow/orange glow behind them was interesting. I thought I did good getting the lighting on the hand close, But really need to do this with more natural light so that it isn't so noisy - was doing it at night with a lamp far to the left and a flashlight hitting tissue paper to the right.

I'll give the B/W a shot for the fun of it, that should be a fun exercise!

It just isn't dark enough for your Dark Side winter persona. But you can fix that...

Thanks Frank and Min, Here is a quick dash at the Poe - Etic version.

I like this one too.

I can also imagine a few drops of reddish blood dripping down the finger from an errant nip from the now malevolent bird.

[PietFrancke]

ewww - that is a cool idea, have to see if I can find a drop of blood to put on top and redify it!

through the cracks in time,
we dream of tomorrow,
and yesterday fades away,
Now is calling.

we are strong, we are fragile,
we live, we fly.
And one day...

but until that day,
I love my friends,
and my furry walking companion,

I am Now

The image and the background remind me of the animal studies you used to see in museums, but that poem, oh that poem! S-
