I really like the added phrase. It’s like a really beautiful card to send to someone special. The light is very Maxfield Parish, a compliment since he’s a HUGE hero of mine. It almost looks like a painting. a Trompe d’oeil, not to get confused with a Trump d’oeil, which would be rather apt since he’s a visual allusion to trick the eye.
You’re very talented Dale. I think this more and more as I have the privilege of viewing your work…and here’s to your estimable host for featuring you. Very generous he is. 🙂
Oh yea! I, being an art neophyte, had to Google him and wow, that is quite the compliment. I hadn’t seen the Trompe l’oeil aspect but now that you mention it… As for that Trump thing – he’s something all right.
Aww. I really do thank you. I am a country bumpkin who keeps clicking away, hoping something turns out ok because when it comes to the technicalities, I’m not so in the know. So, this does mean a lot when it is appreciated. And yes, as a host, he is most generous, indeed. (Well, who are we kidding? As a human being he is most generous.) 🙂
We like him. As for you, don’t underestimate your eye that’s very selective in what catches its fancy. I’ll always remember the Ferris Wheel. Was my first Dale. 😊
We do. And I know he likes us, too 😉
I do stop and try to capture what grabs me. If I hadn’t been on a schedule and with a few passengers, earlier I would have stopped by the highway as the clouds were fantabulous. Alas. I cannot always follow my whims!
Was it your first Dale? Sweet. That was before I was handed free reign to post in Marc’s stead… He started by stealing my pics, then I offered them 😉
Thank you, John. Would you believe Marc just retrieved you outta da spam? Dang WP Gremlins are at it again…
You must have thought I was so rude in not responding!
Jeez… Sun is shining, things are melting but I’m not partying yet.
Did I tell you my house is officially sold and I made an offer on another and they counter-offered and I am trying to decide if I take it or choose the house in the next town over for less moulah but more travel and more quiet but less access…. Can you tell I’m in reflection mode?
Excellent catch. The sky is beautiful, but the trees make the pic. 🙂 … Good morning, Dale.
