Description
Tori grew up in the rarified air of the Southern Aristocracy. Afternoon teas, coming out balls and Cotillions were still traditional events. She never quite fit into that mindset but went along to keep the peace. She chose a college in California to get as far away as possible and stayed away with any excuse. After graduation she got a job doing Marine Research and traveled the World. When a job took her to The Gulf of Mexico, she figured it was time to see if there were any ties still left to the Antebellum home where her parents still lived. Arriving on her motorcycle, she stops to let the memories and ghosts settle before completing the long trip down the stately drive. She was about to find out if Thomas Wolfe was right.

Nice pov on her, great view of the house
Fantastic!
What a delightful view! I'll bet Mummy and Daddy will just love her chosen mode of transportation!
Great job!!
Awesome scene!
My guess is that she can go home !!! Looks like there might have to be some new "ground rules," though !!! Excellent work, Ms T !!!
Great pose, excellent work!
Nice pose and choice of POV. Fantastic work!
Lovely capture of the mood / atmosphere. I guess so may thoughts might be going through her head looking at the house she left. Her parents will probably get a shock seeing her outfit and what she rode in but parents being parents will welcome her with open arms. Wonderful staging.
Nice image, good composition.
A modern illustration of an old fable...well done.
Fantastic scene!!!
Marvelous, just marvelous, GT. It seems a light has gone off and you're taking your imaging to a higher level. Anyway, I love the backstory. It adds just the right touch. :-)
Nice
Beautiful scene and work
It works, love the atmosphere and back story...
Nice. I would bet that she was badly disappointed.
Marvellous scene and story!
Super pov.
Hope they still love her enough to accept her lifestyle. Wonderful work on her and the entire scene, Teri!
Yes! Having experienced that moment myself, I can relate to her soon to be reception! Excellent art work and fine image!
Awesome.
Nice POV. Great done, Teri.
Great POV, well done!
Excellent
You are very good at telling a story with not too many words. Nicely done!
outstanding pose and scene. I do not miss painting such huge homes, but the money is another thing
(You know, it strikes me, I"m doing this the morning of Good Friday, and if you have family and are having a family weekend, you won't wanna be deluged by a bunch of comments from one person, esp as long-winded as me! But you'll see them next week, which is fine...I'm sure you won't be rummaging around RR with a house full of guests...)
I love the story you have for this. It gives a whole other backdrop for her stance. The image really does capture what you wrote. (And I haven't seen the word "Cotillions" in, like, 2000 years.) She is so different from the home she's contemplating, one really does sense that she's from another world now. Great posture, and great job with her clothes; she's even got a tattoo! (That's gotta go over big with her family!) And the cycle is just right; and the angle is terrific. It gives her real motion...She's so different from the mansion she's about to enter. Terrific image to suit your narrative.
