I used a shoreline photo with sea, stormy sky, hills and grasses as a starting point and processed it in PSP, IrfanView and PhotoFiltre. I did have a vision in my mind of the image I wanted to create to use with the quote.This was not quite it, but this is what it ended up like.
The quote is one of of the 81 sayings of the Tao Te Ching, reputedly written by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu around the 6th century B.C.
There is a version without text HERE
Thanks for viewing. Comments most welcome and appreciated.

I like the bright colours and the design Lyn. It is a very nice job. I must add that I don't fully agree with what the philosopher said :)

This is lovely and the colours flow well together. The quote is thought provoking which goes well with the artwork - simulates the ebb and flo of life itself. Great piece of work with alot of thought gone into it. Well done Lyn.

There's a wealth of zing in those colors. Very eye-catching! As for the text, well, it sounds good but sometimes I paddle very hard against reality. I've come to dislike going over the falls. :-)
