Description Once upon a time,
There died a tree
Whose birds all flew away.

They left after having
Said goodbye to
Improbable patchwork dreams.

when we are seeing shapes rather than things specific, we see the world as it can be. not the prgrammed displays we are told to look at.
the tree is so masculine in form - strong and virile, compared to the words of it's dying there then exists a chasm in my mind.. i have to jump over from what my eyes see to what you tell me has happened. i like having to work mentally at/with art. it means i am involved.
your design skills are still on top form so balh blah blah, i wont blow sunshine at you for your layout and composition that you already KNOW are good, you wouldnt have posted if you didnt think so for a second! damn perfectionist! ha!

there's a very lonely feeling to the lower portion of the image, especially heightened by the use of a seabird.. a lone flyer over a barren waterscape.. thousands of miles of migration just to find some respite. lonely calls going unanswered over foam crested peaks like a greay mountain range of water.. flying just to reach something.. something..

i enjoyed spending time with this.

I was wondering if anyone would actually read the '...there died a tree' and interact with it from that perspective. I'm glad you did.
Interactions like this make it all worthwhile, and comments like these often become as - if not more important than the piece itself, simply because they are a beautifully detailed insight into another mind and its workings.

I enjoyed reading your comment.

well, to be honest, ive really cut down on my commenting amount and tried to let the pieces of work find me, instead of me finding words all the time. there's a lot of worth and value in your gallery to ME. i'm watching them all, letting them speak.

i got called a hypocrite (several times) and spammed on my DA page for being real with my comments. i hope you know that whatever i say to you will be real and i will never mean harm..

i agree on the worth of comments, i dont know about being more, but they do add. the recent set of B&W images i posted are among my favorites because of how ppl treated them, how they commented and how i decided to comment back - in conversation rather than plain thanks.

it takes time, energy and effort.. but ultimately they are things we will treasure.

continue as you will.. i'll watch and speak as you move me..
