    Default Great Expectations

    As promised a continuation of my previous theme and again using neutrals and minimal texturing.

    At a later stage I may add a few blown leaves as well as a bending tree in the distance to add to the sense of gusting.

    Yours,

    Boozy

    Also some dirt getting kicked up would probably help too.

    A strong wind should change the shape of the clouds, so do not bend the trees too much. I should like to have a car like this and go with my dog to a nice place with some sheeps. Here he can run after the sheeps while I am drinking some jus, pressed from the fruits of my memory. I never forget the sugar to make it sweet.

    Bas I'm delighted I can release the poetry within you. Your notion of brewing alcohol from memories may topple the whole brewing insdustry as we now know it. Imagine the hangover and the flashbacks.

    I've changed my mind it's not gusty it's just a bit windy

    Trybal, thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it some thought.

    Boozy.

    I was going to make a suggestion but now you've changed gusting to "a bit windy" I can't.

    Another lovely one. Your work is instantly recognizable. My one suggestion is that if you want to give a slightly more windy feel with trees/dust, you should also maybe put a little more wind in the umbrella and kite. However I feel that part of the charm of your work lies in the stillness and rarified atmosphere (your work is very "unmuscular", unlike many here!) so you might gain one thing and lose another.
    All the best

    Another lovely pic.
    Reminds me of seeing kite fanatics years ago on Primrose Hill in London. Some would send the kite up very high with an assortment of objects tied to the string (including a library chair), the whole being anchored to a small car so it didn't blow away.

    I miss this thread. Fast like the wind, she must have
    a strong reason to make this journey with her best
    suite on side.....

    Cheers

    Just blowing some wind in the thread of the last 'M$$-user' ;-)
    The next will be a waiter (just waiting) with a glass filled with good wine?

    I seem to have missed this one as well. I love your stuff...always makes me want to put pen to paper and write twisted(in a good way ) tales for children....one of these days I think I shall because I do enjoy stepping into them and escaping for awhile.

    Look forward to the next when ya deem it ready!
