Dancing with Fire

Dancing with Fire

She dances wildly

and sings the same

hell hath no power ov'r me

 it's licking flames, shan't hold me

nor my body claim...

so it was as she declared

hell needn't hold her

dancing as she dare

her passions was the consuming fire

leaving her nothing , but her bones bare.

Dancing with Fire was illustrated digitally in Poser, and CS6.

How would Vincent see our world?

I have been reading the latest Vincent Van Gogh biography, and his letters. I am captured by his perception and have been trying to see nature as he would. I started by trying to paint a cypress landscape on canvas. Then I moved to the computer thinking that if I utilized the the Van Gogh brush in Painter 8, I might get a better handle on how to do it. Taking the painting I created in painter (see description) I pulled it into Photoshop and did some tweaking, I decided to turn it into an abstract and try to illustrate the planet as Vincent would see it from heaven. I think I might just have captured it, what do you think?
