Arising impulse
Rhythmic caress
Temptation to create

Adventurous inspiration
Riotous color
Topic burning

Alerting the senses
Rampant concepts
Thrust to the surface

Aspiring to life
Righteous brain demanding
Triumph ascends to art

ART IS...

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

  And, of course, with your abililty to create
  a new super-hero any time you wish, you rule!!!
  
  Nice to see you, Cyber Artist!

      See, you can't excape them!
      
      I like all your work, but
      the concept of the super-hero
      is so romantic, so altruistic
      that it can't help but be
      a favorite!!!!!

i really love the motion you engage to convey your message here. i must have read those first two lines a half dozen times as the "rhythmic caress" gives an almost sensual quality to the artistic expression.

this is wonderfully fun and creative. love the color busting from the piece at the top of the page.

well done.

  Hmmmm...art takes all forms
  to express and appreciate.
  Your question, "Who is Monday?"
  comes to mind!!!
  
  From pen and pencil, to liner
  and fan brushes, from India ink
  to watercolors to underglaze
  to words on the page, the art
  within me wants to speak out!
  
  I had the graphic in mind
  as the words flooded my brain.
  It burst into color based on
  the pencil drawing lower
  on the page.
  
  Thanks, Rick

Art rises to the top and triumphantly indeed. I like that idea and for some reason think of cream. Maybe that's because I'm still drinking coffee. lol

Nicely done Aes. Good luck in the contest.

      Good for the herbals---
      lots of natural fuel there.
      Even the names inspire poetry---
      rosemary, lavendar, oregano,
      elderberry and astragalus...

        As a kid I used to steep "herbal" concoctions for my tea parties, picked in the yard... arborvite and juniper to name a couple. Good thing I knew enough not to really drink it. Don't know where I ever got the idea to do that. lol Interesting though.
        
        Sasparilla root, ginger root, and cinnamon are in my arsenal at the moment.

        She was originally created for "I Do but Dare"--
        and then I worked out some special effects---but had
        to post the original, too, for Yem was determined
        to find all the "hidden" words.

Responsibility for Lyrical Art …
A masterpiece of art, I’d say,
Paints life with words - music for ear.
Potential sigh or eye ballet,
From those too near ...

No sweeter cry could song invoke
From depths, where walls were wearing thin.
With compound eye, each thought a stroke
That’s welcomed in ...

No sweeter tears should bring a frown
To artist who would choose career,
Of turning sadness upside down,
For all to hear ... ... ...

First let me say, that is one fine, sharp looking image you've created for your header!

Is that what art is? I want to be an artist then. It sounds like an amazing experience. And a lovely meshing of two forms of art, graphic and literary. I like arising impulses, though mine need to be checked sometimes, like the genius idea I had last night to enter a contest 200 times. lol Fortunately, AP is clunky and wouldn't let me.

It's lovely N-1 / D-1(2000)

      Color is powerful all on its own!
      
      I think it needs dark chocolate on the side!
      
      A further look inside...my original drawing is on the left.
      I then copied it, cropped it and reversed it, so it stands
      upside down next to the original. Then the scanning fun!

  200 times? Now that is exceptionally Yemish!

  Ah, but you are an artist, pioneering
  the outstanding break-through series,
  "Shocking Tales of Horror"----among
  multiple, multiple, multiple other
  items of prose and poetry!!!

    It stopped me somewhere between 27 and 30, lol No matter what poem I hit it kept telling me that "Buffalo Girl" had already been entered, lol. Someone told me that they could enter more of theirs later but the fun of entering was over by then, lol
    
    My mom, two sisters are artists. The ability to paint escaped me however. I can draw a little, about it.
    
    I was wondering what the under layer was in that top graphic.

      Tell me what contest so I can go see---
      or the host name.
      Buffalo Girl? Horse-shoe's girlfriend?
      Right, once the hopes are dimmed,
      no more fun. The rush of the inspiration,
      see???
      
      The "underlayer" would be multiples of itself
      made thru a feature at bucket which since
      malfunctioned and repeats to infinity---on
      and on and on and on and on across the page!
      The original is the black and white shown at
      the end of the words, just above
      "the thinking woman."

        I can even remember the contest name. lol She wants 3000 entries and I was doing my part to help, lol Buffalo Girl is a poem I wrote a few years ago. Based on It's a Wonderful Life (from a prompt.) It's just a silly, poorly written romance of sorts.
        
        So the under layer was your using a flaw in the program. That's cool!

        Actually. the program was still working--
        it was just a matter of shifting the images
        to get the desired effect, and then overlaying
        other effects. It was possible to slide the images
        around until the area was covered!
        
        As you so well know, even technology
        needs artistic hands to guide it!
        (As your hidden message graphics!)
        
        Well, if you went to your wardrobe and tried on
        each of your suits----you could add quite the hundred
        or so!!!
