Growing up

This is one of my favorite poets and mystics. He is unique and relevant, even in today's world. I have many of his books in my library. He was a large influence in my younger years. 
 
Two of His writings:

"Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so also the bow that is stable."

You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish. Surely, he who is worthy to receive his days and his nights is worthy of all else from you. 

This week I am sharing the image you saw in my post last week. It is finished. It took almost a week to do and consists of more colors than any image done so far, a total of 30 colors. What made it so difficult was the details were either faint or made no sense. AI is far from perfected at this point. This was definitely AI generated.  

The Copics used are:

The two pens are multiliner brown and multiliner green. The zero blender pens were used at times to correct and to lighten the colors used.
That's it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."

  1. Be it AI, stamped or a printed image - you brought this Irish lass to life with your gifted coloring skills and she's a true beauty! From her fair skin to her flaming red hair and traditional Irish garb, this turned out to be simply amazing! Well done and may your blessings be many in the coming weeks.

  2. I recall that my parents had one of Gibran's books. His was a wise voice in this wilderness in which we live. Your coloring is masterful! Blessings, Jim!

  3. Your coloring is truly amazing. It’s beyond most people’s ability! Those folds and shadows and the light bits. I use AI images in some of my cards. Feels like I’m cheating, but it makes for a quick easy card when needed! Love the poetry!!
