Description
I have....no idea what was running through my head when I got inspired to do this to be perfectly honest. LOL While searching for a new project to start, I ran across the charming model stock and loved the vintage feeling to it. The idea sort of built from there. Anyone who knows me well knows I hate the city, so I decided to stage my own private takeover. Let the fields and woods reclaim the stone prisons! Waahaa! Yes, I've had too much caffeine and nicotene. Enjoy!I'd like to dedicate this to Everybody needs something colorful to look at. May the new year be better for you than the last one.

Thanks so much! I wanted that big expansive sky so it would look more epic, so I'm glad you like it. Dude, the ents are awesome.

OMG, I don't know if you know this about me, but I adore vintage things as well as nature, so the combination here is instant love! The composition is amazing! I love the contrast between the monotone, drab buildings with the gorgeous colors she's walking into. Adding the little patches of grass at the beginning was brilliant! I'm honored for the dedication, sweetie!

My sentiments exactly...reminds me of this bit of prose from Walt Whitman:
"Give me the splendid silent sun, with all his beams full-dazzling;
Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard;
Give me a field where the unmowβd grass grows;
Give me an arbor, give me the trellisβd grape;
Give me fresh corn and wheatβgive me serene-moving animals, teaching content;
Give me nights perfectly quiet, as on high plateaus west of the Mississippi, and I looking up at the stars;
Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers, where I can walk undisturbβd"

Thank you! Yeah, I try to avoid redoing the same things I've seen done a dozen times on here. Definitely check out the stock if you want to do something vintage. It's great.

This really is a beautiful image, very classic looking! I love the feel and the optimism of her find such a pristine pasture in the midst of the city buildings! The texture you used just brings it all together perfectly!

Thank you so much! Oh man, I wish it were that easy too. Cities make my skin crawl, and they keep expanding instead of going away!
