For me there is only the travelling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length – and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.

You are looking pretty and pensive here, Cherie
Thank you
What a beautiful quote, I really like it. It makes me want to travel but reminds me that some journeys can be done in your backyard.
Lovely graphics! Was it originally a self-portrait?
It is from a self-portrait I took in 2008. I played with the image (just after I took it) to get several different paint effect versions.
Interesting and very nice images – is that a digital filter effect of a photo?
I changed the original image using software that has now been updated. I am unable to get the same type of effects on the new software.
I especially like the top image. It is like an Old Master (eh… I mean an old master painting, a painting by one of the “old masters”, heck,…not a reference to you… I mean.. oh Andrew Stop Digging!
)
HaHa
Yes the image was intended to be in the ‘Old Master’ style.
At the same time I convertated another self portrait of me into the pointillism style. That style really doesn’t work as a digital image displayed on the internet LOL
Here is a link to the original image:
