Description
Life in a Northern Town
The cityscape, bare trees, and kanji character are all images from Mark (anahata.c). What started out as conversation became inspiration, and the longer I looked at the result, the more I liked it.
Thank you, my dear, for your generosity and your friendship.

Later: As it turns out, Helle and I both used the same image as the basis for a piece of art. You can see her gorgeous piece HERE

an absolute fav. great atmospereand colours.
I'm so glad that you posted this Tara! What a great image you have created. Well done to both you and Mark! This is what I call teamwork! :)
Time to head south where the sun shines and the overcast parts more than once every six months:) The link's video sets a very complimentary mood to that of your 2D piece. You've done a great job of bringing us a visualization of gray days with architecture to match. Like your grunge...here it really fits.
Wonderful image Tara well done Excellent!!
WOW ! This is a lovely dedication and... collaboration for Mark. And I just Loved the music too :-)))
This really expresses winter. Excellent image. I've never heard the song but enjoyed it. Thank you.
Perfect, just plan and simply perfect!!
Fabulous!!! Really good, I can imagine it wall size!
Linked to the music, it is wonderful. Got me feeling a bit melancholy, given the meaning behind it all. Cheers, Clive
superbe atmosphere dans cette image wonderful work
The bleakness of winter shines through here but sometimes that is serene. Nicely done
Very nice work, Tara!
interesting and fantastic work!!!!
excellent postwork
Wonderful work! :)
Wonderful postwork!
fabulous work !
Beautiful, haunting and wintry image. Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard it. Great video too.
Beautiful work!
Oh, this is gorgeous! I love all of the elements in this...especially that "northern exposure" coolness in color tones. This is such a superb work, and a wonderful piece of inspiration. There are stories in this image; I can feel them percolating slowly, almost like they're following the "kanji-like" lines like ghosts along the bottom portion of this image! This is spot-on-perfect!
Looks like a painting :))
Excellent Tara...
I guess it's time I show my face in your gallery, especially as you've posted so many chicago shots & I haven't commented beyond the first few. If your fans only knew how much you did with this, and how my images were only the beginning. (And if they could only see the building image you so transformed here. They'd say, "yeah, why don't you just take 'mark' off the menu?".) First, I'm commenting when you'll probably get no more, so if I want to dance naked, I can. There's a great sense of freedom when you go to a page that's been finished. (There's a bulb out on the left wall—you really should get the damned thing fixed; what if I brought friends...) But most of all, you know how much I loved the piece, how little I had to do with it, and how you showed me—as did helle—what an artist can do with a blurred shot if they want to. Mind you, I'm crazy about transforming art in PS, and barely an image starts without some poor reject that was pouting in a folder somewhere; but I had no ideas on what to do with blurs or any photos for that matter. Just not my field. Well now I know. And you used my trees and chinese calligraphy beautifully, as well. (It's the chinese character for buddha—literally the single human who ties many things together: All those strokes on the left are the "things of the world," whereas the tall stroke is the singe force of oneness, the 'spine' of spiritual oneness.) And with all that, you got a northern mill town feel, almost in a blizzard, with that rust gray color that one sees in places like Duluth, Marquette, many cities in Maine, and probably some industrial towns near you. You do my work very proud when you transform it. Feel free. It's a pleasure to see you tara-ize it. That's tara-ize, not terrorize. One creates fear, the other elation. This is the latter & it's wonderful. And thank you for your generosity & friendship too: It's the best.
This is really cool. Awesome work.
Absolutely fabulous Tara!!The atmosphere is stunning! Misterious and intimiste! The trees like ghosts, on an inexistent city...and that figure, or at least i think it is a figure...gives a strange life at that place that seems to liquify, over itself on and on, till melding with the ground...challenging image.Great art here!
Tara you really created a fantastic artwork out of Mark's blur, I am in awe you are so talented, very well done!! Love it!! hugs Jane xx
