Welcome to topic # 200 in "Fun and Games" Smile

I thought a writer’s corner would be enjoyable, so here I am. But I do not want to limit this thread to creative writing. Please share your art: writing in all forms, photography as art, photos of art (sculpture, paintings, fashion, landscaping etc.), links to audible and/or visual performances, non-PSC contest-submitted digital art…etc, etc, etc. (Please do keep pictorial posts relatively small and/or as links—and compliant with PSC standards!)

One person’s art can often spark many other people’s imaginations. I am hoping this thread will not only provide another outlet for sharing creativity, but will develop into a source for ideas and inspiration. If something somewhere has motivated your art, please include that information, both to give credit, and to possibly inspire other people.

Okay… here goes…

I have two items I’ll kick this off with. The first is a poem I originally wrote several years ago:



The second is simply a descriptive setting I’ve just re-written, inspired by many terrible storms and resurrected by this year’s hurricane season…

Coalescing oil-black tentacles groped across the sky to choke out the weakening afternoon sun. Quivering beach grasses lay prostrate in subservience to the screaming Banshee wind. Heaving waves bullied the floating docks, yanking and shoving them against the steadfast pier. Unidentifiable vegetation and splintered timbers ominously haunted the ever-rising tide. The suffocating inferno above glowered ever closer. A devastating explosion of lightning and thunder ripped apart the very firmament! A wrathful torrent, like coffin-seeking nails, hammered the earth. The ravenous storm had finally succumbed to its voracious thirst for blood…

One of the best books that i have read...is "The DaVinci Code". I couldn't put the book down. I would highly recommend it. It's mysterious, intreging, and suspenseful. It mixes in church history..with secrets...detective work...and double untundras. Its a must read.

Well I like both poems and photography and my family...so I like to merge the two.

Did this for my lovely wife. Started a thread and everything...

Here is a wood sculpture I just finished working on for an art class. The idea was to "expand" the board we were given. I wanted to appear as if it was exploding. There are somewhere between 70-80 individual pieces that are being held together by hot glue. There's nothing in the center of it, just the pieces built up on themselves. Smile

I think this went over some people's heads so let me clear things up...

This is tundra:




This is a double Un-tundra:



I believe dbbowling was trying to say that the DaVinci Code was a paradise of good writingnisitude

Acrylic painting of my Grandfather and an Oil painting of cowboy boots that I did.


Although I have not painted in a while, with two kids (a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old) it's hard to find time. Besides, I like Photoshop better. It's faster and does not smell like Turpentine and you don't have to wait for anything to dry.
