"For now I have only the one white bird..." A line from a poem I once wrote that seemed to fit this image. Yes, this is me. Yes, this is me doing a background on Erte... sort of. ;)
Thanks extremely, Kytheira!!! The white roses and the alignment of the birds was intentional, but the rest of it just kind of came together. I'm so very pleased that you like it!!!
You should do more on Erte, Saralyn! It's really beautiful!!! <3 The handrail of the bridge looks so three-dimensional; and I love the pattern on the downside. And the composition, the simplicity of the dress with the white roses, and together with this bridge, is perfect! -- By the way, I LOVE the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Thanks very, very much, Written!! I've always been shy of Erte because people make such extraordinary things with it, and I'm not particularly skilled, but I'm giving it a shot... :)
Thanks so incredibly much, Sorachan and LisaRae!!! I wish I could find the rest of the poem right now. But it is about the generosity of the black birds that fly with me, getting fewer and fewer as they gift me with their natures... Your generosity makes me think of this. <3
