Artist's Comments

My mirror just shows me. Me but not inside me. I would really like to see through it, to discover my real soul, my own true self. I am not afraid. I will pay the price for the knowledge... And maybe one day I’ll find this magic mirror among the universe mysteries, maybe in the moonlight’s thousands rosettes, maybe into the crystal fairies’ iced lakes, maybe into the sky’s abalone mourning whispers or just simply into the eyes of the one I love and who loves me…

I have taken this shot on august 19, from the Abbey ramparts of the Mont St Michel, north-west of France, at low tide. It was about 5:00 pm and the light was very surreal, like a grey light, which is absolutely impossible, but here’s the result… The big fluffy clouds were softly reflecting on the merged salt and sand surface which seemed to be made of pearly smoke…
The sea, so far away, was secretly flirting with the horizon, waiting for the night to come back again and wash my thoughts away…

No colour manip here, just a little bit of contrast and frame added with Paint Shop Pro…
Please full view…

Oh how very beautiful!

How much thought this piece invokes, such a stirring of longing for that which lies just beyond the looking glass so to speak. How very eloquently you painted a picture with your words...a lovely accompaniment to this work of art you have presented today.

To achieve the marvelous, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.

An idea that is put into action is more important that an idea that exists only as an idea.

Send all your constructive criticism my way.
And if you have none....that's fine too.

Oh my god, what is that exactly? It's obviously a shore line or lake or something, but how on earth did it get to look like that?

Excellent piece! :D
