Description
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In it's brief course
Lie all the verities and
Realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendour of beauty
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every
Yesterday a dream of happiness.
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.
~Kalidasa, c.400 BC
Normally I'm not one for poetry, but I like this one.
Pencil then ink on paper, scanned and colored in photoshop 6. The patterned part of the sari is a displacement map, which is almost impossible to see cause of it's transparency, but it's there. background is a vectored then rastered photo of the most famous of Mahals, the Taj Mahal.
Your comments are most welcome. Enjoy,
~D
