          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!
      Share---how many did you actually get in...?

      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!!!

      Top graphic---derived from the original
      mind towers---those places to go
      to gain a clea mind, to think a while!

        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!!!
