  • Mui-Ling Teh

    Mui-Ling Teh

    Now that you bring up my cranes I also notice the play of scale here; you made those bars look really big! I don’t think they’re actually that big in reality; looking back at the original photo the plants and grass are bigger there than your plants and flowers (or maybe the plants got bigger after losing their flowers ?!). Yup you’ve really recreated the image.

  • Carrie Glenn replied

    ;D What can I say…you’re good! ;D Yep I played with the scale…a bit. I just was creating what I saw in my mind really. Which is so much fun. ...I like it “maybe the plants got bigger after loosing their flowers”...an awesome thought…and yes I thoroughly agree! ;D You’re so clever!

  • Hobbers

    Hobbers

    OH WOW!!!!!!!! Carrie, you have done an AMAZING job with my photo!!! I don’t know how you’ve done it, but you’ve created something so magical out of a simple photo of a twisted metal fence!! Incredible!! And look at all the comments too!! Sorry I wasn’t first to comment, but I was away in Belfast for work. I am always stunned by the quality of your work, but to think that this has actually come from one of my photos, and to think about all the thought, imagination and hard work that has gone into it is breathtaking!! It is such an honour to be picked by you for a collaboration. It is the greatest honour a photographer could have!! I truly believe that you are one of the top artists in America today, and it is such a pleasure and priviledge to be involved in your artistic journey. Thank you Carrie!!! I’ll be buying the biggest print of this that I can!!! :-D

  • Carrie Glenn replied

    :D :D :D :D!!!!!!!!!! Yeaaaaah! Really Paul…that is the best compliment I could have…truly thank you from the bottom of my heart! ;D (blush) ;D

  • Carrie Glenn replied

    Ooh and…..without your smart eye…it wouldn’t have been possible! From the second I saw your piece it caught my eye and to me is beautiful all by itself. So thank YOU for the opportunity to dream with you and create this work. ;D

  • cheetaah

  • Carrie Glenn replied

  • MyInnereyeMike

    MyInnereyeMike

    This is one amazing image! It says so much, in so many ways. Those kids are definately eating their wheaties!! LOL The colors are so nice, and the depth of the image in the background is superb. The careful attention to detail is enough to make even the finest, and seasoned artists gape in admiration. In some ways, it reminds my of a Thomas Kinkade painting, but better.
    The angel inviting them with open arms is also a great focal point of the image.
    I think this is truly a masterpiece in every sense of the mord. I’m sure you’ll sell lots of prints of this because it is so touching. I think we are all trying to get to the other side of the fence, and this image is what inspires us to push harder on the fences that keep us from finding peace on the other side. This work is inspiring, ellegant, and charming. Congratulations on the award!!

  • Carrie Glenn replied

    Oh MIKE…thank you so very much!! You know I have really followed and admired Kincaid’s work for some time and just being thought in the same sentence is an honor. :D WOW! You really read my work well…and it means a lot to me that you took the time to really see it. THAAAAaaank you!!! You made my night!

  • MyInnereyeMike

    MyInnereyeMike

    I forgot to mention those unicorns! They’re a very nice compliment to the image as well.

  • Carrie Glenn replied

    LOL…YYYEEEees! You saw them…cool Mike…yeah they are just barely peeking in there with a hint of magic! ;D :D (Good eye for detail…or inner eye…lol) Take care friend!! xoxo Carrie
