Shallow

[K-2]

@AnasaziWrites - what a stunning photo (and cool shallow focus on the beautiful script as well). Clever!

And thank you for confirming my "bots" theory about high view counts on random posts, @Erica McPhee - as well as for your kind thoughts about my "Celestial/Heavenly". @tiffany.c.a - yes! bleach! also a bit of salt.

@Cyril Jayant - your drawings are so much fun!

This prompt ended up with a sort of conceptual piece for me: Shallow = Vapid (and I get a V for my alphabet).

Then I get some visual puns in: (hey, @Zivio - this might be your sort of thing; not exactly pedantry, but some intellectual free-associating)

The shimmer ink gives a reference to Thomas Gray's poem about a cat drowned in a bowl of goldfish, ending with the admonition:
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes
And heedless hearts, is lawful prize;
Nor all that glisters, gold.

The shimmer ink on the V is Diamine's "Tempest" as in "tempest in a teapot"
The mirror in the bowl of the V mirrors the eye of the beholder.
Which is the "I" of the beholder (and my first self-portrait!)
And the ink on the "apid" of Vapid is called "Alice" from the novel "Through the Looking Glass"

@K-2
This one is brilliant. Clever. Sophisticated. Introspective. Self effacing. Conceptually complex and well executed. Wow. Love it.

@AnasaziWrites, gorgeous butterfly/flower photo and really like how you matched the writing.

@K-2, wow we get a chance to see (a bit) of you! Your skills are great and so versatile. The inks worked.

[Cyril Jayant]

@AnasaziWrites  Nice writing as always.


@K-2  Your conceptual  ink drawing with more refined calligraphy ideas always bolw my mind
Thank you both for the inspirational work.
Thank you again  supporting my work.      

Now it is my turn to add just a droplet to this ocean of creativity here.  ;

Also, that shallow depth of field combined with that incredible capture is just the chef’s kiss @AnasaziWrites !

@K-2  Yes, absolutely my sort of thing! Among other things, the study of the "science of creativity," we'll call it, captured my attention for many, many years. Free-association, intellectual, intuitive, or happenchance, was very much the hallmark of many techniques that I'd passed along in our work team trainings to improve our collaborative and individual creative problem-solving! 

Thanks, for the tag! I'm always interested in what you have to say, and learning and laughing along!
