    Very nice work Ghi.You have a knack of capturing the mood of the subject and that is something not every portrait artist can do.I especially like the way with the Mermaid that you made the eyes look bigger and darker which gave the hardish impression to the Mermaid and the cigarette cemented the feel.


    Eric how about Dream Time or After Glow [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    I might have another go at a Floyd cover actually,maybe a bit more surreal this time.

    as I like the later recordings too. And Waters' lyrics. Remember this one, and did anyone ever expressed this kind of guy better (You really met one that painted your body, Stu!):

    "You gotta be trusted by the people that you lie to
    So that when they turn their backs on you
    You've got the chance to put the knife in"

    Yes, I like the idea of a tribute, but I'd prefer no limitation on the software used, be it 3d, Photoshop, Painshop pro,Painter,.... Just the woman (are there any women out there?) or man and the favourite tools. Not "I did this completely in this or that". Let's ride that gravy train, let's divide some bells (see the image? see it? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] )

    Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day

    You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way

    Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

    Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

    Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

    You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

    And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you

    No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

    And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

    And racing around to come up behind you again

    The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

    Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

    Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines

    Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way

    The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

    Very nice work Eric.

    It makes me wonder what some of those lyrics would have penned like if there was some Prozac in the mix back then [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] But then again it seems to be struggle that has us at our best as human beings.Hmmm maybe torment makes for good lyrics who knows.There is also a lot of wisdom in the lyrics as well and I would say when that song was written the author was examining his life at the time.

    i think most of us can identify with these lyrics at one time or another, i'm always "missing the train" in my minds eye,
    on this album the track *on the run* wow! it could have been done with 21st century synths and samplers huh?

    scouse eric

    An optimist and his pessimist friend were walking in a forest on a beautiful afternoon. The optimist looked around him, breathed deeply and sighed: "Aren't we living in the most beautiful of all possible worlds?" And the pessimist looked at his dirty shoes and replied: "I'm afraid your right."

    Or to quote Pink:"Hey you, don't help them to bury the light! Don't give in without a fight!"

    And that's why I prefer the more experimental beginnings of PF.

    Do read "The Two Trees" by William Butler Yeats. Never has it been put into words like in this poem.
