Illustration Friday - (un)Broken
shards and splinters and shrapnel
broken dreams and hearts and toys and promises...
sweep them up
pile them high
a pyre...
light the match
fan the fire
one last look...
it's burning well
walk away
spirit unbroken.

Well Carla this is something I should do right now.
sweep everything up and burn it and don't look back.
I love how you depicked her now unbroken spirit. so freeing and wonderful. Great colors for the season also.
Now that is thinking outside of the box! Your mind shines as usual:)
Great illo - the sillhouettes work beautifully
That's a fab copper disc - just when I was thinking about enamelling too...
Very striking and strong image - I like it a lot!
striking image and lovely words, too. nice take of the topic.i also like your remote II entry. amazing of how many things we can think of for our entries every week....
this time i like the words more...sorry but lovely ilu too
:O)
You have a uncanny knack for taking the most mundane or nebulous of topics and making them both meaningful and beautiful. Great job.
Great illustration. I followed your turtle comment over here. Your sister might enjoy my blog:

I have become an unlikely turtle lover and expert. Well, who wouldn't love turtles?
Great Ill. I love all the color! Tw0 hard spirits to break! LOL!
I love the black silhouettes contrast and warm big sun !
The poem would work for Phoenix, too, no? I like the life force that emanates from the painting.
Idahl calls it thinking outside the box, but to me -- you've been colouring outside the lines again! :) I love the way you've married the poem to the image to perfectly illustrate the theme.
What a beautiful image, very imaginitive. The horse and rider silhouette are especially nice. Wild and erotic!
OHHHH Carla this ones is stunning :)very imaginative my dear :).... I think you feel a lot of inspiration :)... Beautiful
Great job, I like your style. :-)
lovely illo and verse. the white detail gives depth to a strong silhouette.
and i really love that fat moon! great color and texture.
nice illustration!!
Lovely colours and the silhouette in front of the orange moon works really well. Great job. Love the unbroken spirit in this piece.
I never would have taken it to that level - I'm glad you did because you did it justice! The poem was beautiful!!!
Fantastic uplifting spirit of this theme. Great work Carla! Cheers!
Carla! This is just fantastic and I *love* your take on this week's theme. Lovely job!
Woooo ... this is beautiful!! love your concept !! The color and form are soo elegantly done!
Great energy, unrestrained color, and beautiful technique. Love the verse as well. Beautiful!!
beautiful poem, Carla. And a gorgeous moon, that...the colour of fire.
Beautiful image.
I was missing your visit and to visit your blog.
I like so much what you wrote, and the approach you've done to this topic..(un)broken.Are these your words?
I keep liking a lot your "textures made of sand".
My pinocchio's nose has leafs:I don't know why but I am uncapable of making a branch and leave it bare...
Wow, I love the horse in motion. Very vivid! The lines are beautiful...
Wonderful words of wisdom , Carla, great entry. The sun's colors and it's texture is incredible. Or is it a blood moon?
Looks fabby either way.
:)
What a great poem. Nothing will break her spirit! I like the light patches in the grass - almost look like lightning bugs. The silhouette works very nicely against the orange. The look is really nice for Halloween, even if you didn't intend it's relation!
delightful and free
Oh dear, Carla...I did not see you out there while I was on my midnight ride (tee, hee)
So wonderful...love that ORANGE MOON!
This is a beautiful piece, esp the silhouette of the horse! :) Love it!
I loved this! So courageous, and true.
Ha! Tagged again, Carla!
That is one fiesty illo! Yes, I can feel the unbroken spirit. Love the colors too! Great job!
Lol nice. You thought outside of the box with un broken. I like the figure against the sun!
on my blog...
The apple is any color you want it to be ^_^
Hopefully the apple was tasty :)
your illustrations are so lovely and ethereal (sp). And I really enjoy the commentary or story that accompanies them.
The freedom of this character really shows, nice illo!
The silhouette stands out very well with the colourful background. Nice work.
Of course, that sort of pyromaniac activity doesn't help the Greenhouse Effect (or Earth's Yin and Yang) :).
Carla, I always look forward to looking at your IF pic. This is a powerful image - a bit like and archetype - with the air of having been drawn straight from consciousness. The black silouhette drawing back into the orange Moon (or Sun) is just right, but I'm a little unsure about the body on the figure - not sure why...
nice angle to look at it, strong image as well.
What a wonderful image! I love the wild spirit seen in horse and woman, and the colors are lovely. :0)
