"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
As Randy says the texture is great. A bit like some kind of alien root (of a tree or plant......lol). Great lighting on this one mate. Nice work as always.
When I read the title while seeing the image, 'Rocket' seemed pretty appropriate. Then I realised my error and am struggling to turn the flaming trail of debris into part of a mountain or something... (Maybe when it cools a bit?)
Looks good, though. Just as though something recently took off...
I am honoured to be listed as a friend or to see an image of mine as a favourite, but I keep lists of neither. This helps me appreciate images uploaded by strangers as well as friends. Please understand that a failure to reciprocate in kind indicates a lack of appreciation for neither gesture nor work.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
