After about six hours work I am letting the digital paint dry, so to speak. The plan was to recreate something of an unfinished masterwork, as if the artist had run out of funds in the middle of the project.
The bit I love the most about being an artist, and a visual editor is that I get to decide what my audience looks at by highlighting the details that I want you to see. I get to decide what you feel too, to some extent by my choice of colour palette, and I get to pique your interest and intrigue you by leading your eye through parts of the image as if it were a window onto an alternate reality. You have no idea how much pleasure that gives me. 🙂

“The self does not divide but multiplies in incongruous ways, incongruous to you that is. It forms within its own nature a potential wealth of other personality types that indeed populate your conception of the world and form those friendly faces that you meet within your so-called day-to-day experience. Life is not intrinsic to the manifestation of these other selves, for life is a term that can only apply to the human construct. We as your caretakers so to speak are just beyond the remit of your understanding of time. We perch atop the fence of your awareness like crows bringing the warmth and wisdom of the dark to the brightness of your cave. We bring light to you in ways that you do not presently comprehend. We furnish your worlds with cherished thoughts and indeterminable wisdoms that cloud your skies and pepper the land with things to look at, admire and experience as extensions of your selves. Your personhoods expressed through nature and creature-hood, through blustering winds and swelling tides. The moods of the earth match your own national and individual moods. One does not follow on from the other but all swim happily in unison within the tide of memories that link you all. A body of memories that is as vital as any living organism, of which the you that you know forms an important strand.”

I love these. No matter the magic invoked, they have to have a great image to start with … perhaps a source of income, as finished artworks?
(Dammit—if it’ll work on one of your walls it should work well on others too~!)

Thank you, Argus. 🙂
I have indeed looked into selling prints. Still working on that one. I have some of them hosted on a site that will sell them for you, but I shan’t get my hopes up with that one. Research says it’s not a very lucrative enterprise.
There ought to be another way, by way of cutting out the middle man. 🙂

Wish you all the very best with it, Ma’am. There’s all the usuals, but I think your product calls for something else.
(And once you’ve broken the ice there’ll be oodles of copiers and imitators.)

Yes, there ought to be something I can do with all of these artworks. Famous artist – now there’s an appealing thought…

I love that idea. Clever, and gives depth the larger narrative.
