Description
A long, long time ago, long before you were born but not so very far from here, a man made his home in what are now the woods just over that hill. His place is gone now, the stones buried in the duff of the forest floor, the wood rotted away, returned to the earth. They say on certain afternoons when the light is just right you can see him walking along the path to the barn, perhaps bringing home something for the pot.

Excellent image sweetieExcellent image I am just sitting now trying to get rid of a 102.2 temp Not wanting to go to ER but looks like I may have to if it doesn't go down Love the image and the character:) Hugs Susan~
Excellent work Tara.
My goodness, a few months of marriage has aged your man rather rapidly. BRILLIANT, Tara.
Oh this rocks! It has "Book cover" written all over it in the best possible ways and I love the vibrant but mysterious colors. Amazing work!
Well Tara you've created a real stew here. A little bit from here and a little bit from there and before you know it you have a delicious masterpiece! And the story is the perfect garnish. Should keep the little ones from wandering into the woods.
super work
Great work!!
Wonderful! A story within a story - the image speaks volumes! Clive

Anything is possible, when reality and manipulation meet, like this creation for a childrens book maybe ? move over J.K.Rowling ... BB
No, no...that isn't me;-) What a cool result from mixing and matching, picking and plucking, sifting and sorting, slipping and slidding, and all those other Photoshop things you did here:-) :*
