[LJ Idol] Season 8, Week 11, "ecosystems in acrylics"

Jan 23, 2012 20:47

Challenge Name and Number: #11, Open Topic
Title: ecosystems in acrylics
Word Count: 1701
Warnings (if applicable): None
Summary: For someone unable to differentiate between imagination and reality, eventually they become the same thing.
Author’s Notes: Fiction. Magical Realism. I hope you enjoy.
( I’d painted the meadow outside, and while the first canvas is still matte and smooth, the last-tilted against the others, almost flat to the floor-sprouts thin, even blades of grass, growing up and out to cover the length of it. )

Very well done. The imagery was fantastic and made me miss the smell of oils on canvas. Made me want to paint again. I could really get the feel of the painting taking on its own life.

Thank you! (I actually can't paint for crap, I prefer digital art, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate art in all its forms! xD And if you feel the urge to paint, you should! =D)

I loved writing this story and I'm glad you liked it! Thanks again for commenting.

I like your use of voice here and your lyrical description. Help me out, though. Who's Danny?

mymisguided January 27 2012, 00:42:46 UTC

Oh, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear enough. Danny was Thomas's son, who was sent to the country house to pack everything up instead of the protagonist.

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment!

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks for clarifying! Good luck in the run-off.

Thanks for the luck! Looks like I'm gonna need it.

Unbelievably gorgeous. Your hard work definitely paid off here. It feels as though there's sort of...a mist of imagination over it all. :)

Aw, thank you for such a kind comment. I really hope it does xD (And good luck to you on your story as well!)

I'm glad you liked the story! =) Thank you for commenting!

How interesting. This feels like a setup for more to come, and I'm intriged.

mymisguided January 27 2012, 00:45:27 UTC

Ooh, there's an idea xD I wasn't planning on continuing this, but there's definitely room for more, either with the same setting or the same characters.

Thanks for commenting!

You have lovely imagery here. :)

mymisguided January 27 2012, 00:49:41 UTC

Thank you! The story really is all about the imagery, and I'm glad it all worked for you! =) Thanks for commenting!
