A Beautiful Mystery. On the wall.

Damn.

I swear she is staring at me from that wall.

Woz, is there any way you can get a 'detail shot', a close up, of those eyes?

Pretty Please?

You know what I also like about this image?

Her shoulder, see the stark outline of it? I almost added the faint outline of her breast, but I kept thinking, 'thats cool cause you can not tell which way she is actually facing'.

She might have her back to the wind, with arms crossed under that fabric, or she might be turning her shoulder into it and glancing over as she pushes against it.

Even her pose is a mystery.

BTW, my son named this one. Well, sorta.

He picked her up and ent 'Whooohoo! Pretty Mystery Lady!' Then kissed her forehead.

And I went 'Bam! That's it!'

But, we will just call her Leyla.

BTW Woz, would you like a blog of your own?

If you can work an email, you can work a blog.

To do what with?

Here is a perfect example..

Christy, her shoulder always draws me too. It's so real and right, I feel like I could put my hand on her shoulder. I'll do what I can re the closeup of the eyes. She really is beautiful. And yes, she's a mystery all right. I also love the softness and lightness of the fabric.

And re the blog - I've made a few blogs but I can't be trusted to maintain them. Mostly they've been for other people and other reasons, but - who knows. Thanks anyway, Christy. What I really must do now that I've got better health - it's been a hell of a year - is get some more writing done to a publishable standard. AND try and find an agent to submit them. That's the part I'm no good at.

Well, I have a suggestion to try just for fun....

Go to www.blogger.com

Follow the three steps to make a new blog, it is free and all you need is your email and a name for it.

You can customize the look once its created.

But... It will be a blog just like this, and it is a GREAT way to just write anything, post anything, it is fantastic practice and a great way to sort through ideas.

By the way here are some of my writings... There is a real pic of me there too somewhere

Have you ever read my story poems Woz?

Christy - yes, I did read your story poems. I liked them very much. I wanted to let some time go between my readings and let them inhabit my head for a few days. The story reminded me very much of a writer friend of mine who writes teen-adult fantasy. Characters and storylines in parallel universes. I will answer properly when I work through your big work.
