When the light goes out

Thanks Ruth, but still I wish I had a flash light.

Faith is believing in the unseen. God Bless You!

I agree, but this was an example of my sense of humour that , mostly, only I have to laugh about. God bless you too!

Super cool piece Flyboy!! well done!!!!

Just the colours got me in, FlyBoy. Then all the layers and contrast. Good one!

Thanks, Ozcloggie.

wow moving well done with tons of vib,s of ID in it and deep verse too you are a man of moods held in check waiting to see what,s next on your mental path scary and exciting too

Thanks, my pal. It is a great gift to have a soulmate.

First I read your text. You are a great writer and your words went straight to my heart. You are so gifted, never lose the light.
Then I gasped at your extremely powerful image.The colours, the expression and the layers, it all comes together in a big explosion of light conquering the darkness.
I love it. You did a great job.

Wow, MaryO … marry me! You understand me so well. You should be my muse.

hey you can make them your self i print them up on my computer with the special 9 by 12 iron on sheet reverse the design and there you are if you wash them on cool water they last as long as your shirt will

Thanks for this advise.

Your image conveys so much emotion. The fear in the eyes, the thorns and harsh unforgiving angles, the areas of all consuming darkness and then there’s the light. The colours work so well together creating interest and the shadows and highlights combine to make a well composed image.

I like the symbolism.

I think that MBTshirts person said it all for me. Well done on a great image!

Thanks so much, MBTshirts for really looking at it and giving it so much thought. You give me a great nergy boost.

@ Dave: yes there is a little bit of it in it.

@ MBartworks: I allready found out you are one and the same person. Thanks again.

Nice work and . liked your writing about it as well. Something fun and different

Smooth writer, It flows like water and the image is something we can all relate to at times, Thank you, It’s very beautiful.

Beautiful words and a very expressive image FlyBoy – great work!

Excelent work and very creativ

Thanks for your support, Sorin.

fasinating image Flyboy well done

Thanks, alistair.

This is heavy and scary stuff. But if you close your eyes and turn around you will breath that clean yellow air. It reminds me a few night ago we were fighting bush fires and afterwards losing our way in pitch dark, crawling through thick thorn bushes up the mountain with only a small headlight. Eventually, near despair, we reached safety.

Thanks Dorothy for your thoughtful comment. That must have been a scary adventure with the bush fires and losing your way. Glad you made it home safely. Thanks also for appealing to the faith part of the story!

hi flyman thanks as always for your mind hope your feeling better bugs!!!! have a great sat

Great creative work and the words are inspirational; we are not alone, if we reach out. We all row the same boat through life, love and assist thy neighbor!!! Inspired me!!!

Perfect composition

@ Hugo: thanks for your beuatiful words, Hugo. No, I am not alone, you are right. It makes me happy to hear I inspired you. That is the greatest reward I could hope for.

This’ll be something you can relate to I guess … these are some of the feelings I had before I made my first solo in a Cessna 172. I was convinced that I would crash and burn and die … (of course, I didn’t, and the plane actually flew OVER the fence and made it to the runway). But hte feelings of darkness and foreboding, especially when you’re first trying to cram your head with facts and figures and procedures.

Fabulous imagary, FlyBoy! I don’t know how I missed commenting on this one before…......it’s really good to see the words that go with your image too.

@ WorldVision: thanks for your comment. I can imagine the first solo must be a nerve wrecking experience. If in the simulator I am flying the first take-offs and landings with an aircraft type that is new to me, my mind almost blocks because of all the fact and figures I try to recollect.

@ Whirligig: Thanks a lot!

this is wonderful – the eyes are so intense, frightened and captivating – the thorns over the mouth is so suffocating and claustraphobic – it takes your breath away. The colours are rich and intense – the purple makes me think gothic, dark yet the yellow is a colour i always associate with happiness – full of contradictions – just like human nature – anyway, a wonderful work of art.

Thanks for your generous support, Deborah. Your words mean a lot to me.

Fantastic Work!

Thanks, Bonito.

Brillant work flyboy ! your mind is opening wide!

Thanks again, Adele.

When the light goes out you’ll only be able to see the whites of my eyes…... Love the intricacy of this work. Shades of Gustav Klimt! Brilliant artwork!

I think this image exactly show the of fear or panic call it what ever we all have felt it at one time or another-love the work and writing.

your work is great because it is so expressive…........heart felt.
