Em reached into her snoozel skin satchel like a Cheshire cat. “Rog, check this out.”“Whoa, sweet pea, did you do this?”
“Well, I had a lot of time on those long sea voyages and dad was all for tutoring in the fine arts. What do you think?”
Rog was stunned. Em had never before talked about her painting. “I don’t know what to say. I’ve often seen pictures of Helix Point, but I have to say this rendition is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine what this looked like in person,” said Rog.
“Oh Rog, to be on the open sea at night, the southern winds in your hair and the Great Helix setting on the pure crystalline waters just outside of the Nusian peninsula. Oh babe, it just doesn’t get much better than that. Mom always kidded dad about having a mistress. After Helix Point, I knew.”
Rog sat stunned. Having grown up on his father’s ranch he and his brothers had often dreamed of mighty voyages on the open sea. Picture books were about as close as they thought they would ever get.
“Emy, dear, you’ve seen things I only dreamed about as a boy. Do you have more?”
“Back on board, Rog, I’ve got my whole collection. Would you like to see them?”
Paging Commander Rog. Paging Commander Rog. Man your vessel. All indications for an opening imminent.
“That’s it Em, grab your stuff! We 'bout to make things happen darlin’. Snazzle, prepare for launch.”

The original image will be posted at Trebuchet. Audio later tonight.
wow. Ethereal and unlike anything I've even imagined... the Great Helix is utterly fabulous! What a great idea, having someone else's art to oohh and ahh over. This is so cool in every way, with the waters, the sparkling bodies in the sky... and, it does look like a captured memory of a real place. I love it.
Thanks Terry. I had a ton of fun creating this image. Learned a few new things in Vue and was able to tap into Emy's personality just a bit more.
Now that we know there is an artist on board Bravo-Four-Zero, and she has her whole collection with her, I think we need to see more of her work. :-D
Thank you Sunshine. I really had a good time doing this one, image and prose. The image really comes to life when you enlarge it. Glad you liked this one. :-)
Wow! :-)
BRILLIANT! Truly.
Excellent chapter! Absolutely stunning fractal! and most of all, brilliant interconnection between the two!
Its utterly gorgeous!
Sweet dreams, when you get that far, x
Thanks sweetie. I think I just did an audio post for this one. I say think, because I pressed the wrong button at the end and I may have lost the recording. If it doesn't show in the next minute or two I'll redo it. I'm so glad you liked this one. This is the first image I've manipulated this much in photoshop.
Excited to see more from Emy and Rog, big wet of appetite to know more about them with these two posts. As I just wrote on Trebuchet, it must be such a wonderful feeling to start from nothing and create such an image as this - came across in this commentary.
Sooo pleased to see the story back, the wait was worth it - each builds on the one proceeding and it really does just get better and better and better and better!
Can't wait for tomorrow ;)
Dream sweet, x

good morning luv, hope you have a wonderful day! (hugs)
Wow, stunning painting T! How are you? :-)
I'm doing well Y. Good to see your blog back. Thanks for the kind words sweetie. :-)
Hey Tube. Thanks for the morning salutations. One day at a time my dear. As Sunshine once quoted, "Mountains are climbed the same way as hills, one step at a time."
Hope you have a good and productive day sweetie.
Someone looks like they punched Sauron in his all-seeing eye. Poor guy.
Do you think Peter Jackson would be impressed? ;-)
Good morning, hope its a beaut!
Beautiful day here. Lots of Sunshine. Hope you've had a good one too. :-)
LOL! Excellent, I love how you tie the work into the story or, vice-versa. Perfection.
Thank you Alexandra. The image comes first and then the story is written. An image driven story. I never quite know what is going to happen next. :-)
Wow, this is very cool. Very good idea for a blog.
Thanks Josh. I'm just having a ton of fun creating the images and writing the story to go with them. Thanks for stopping by.
I just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the direction of your "martini" post via my comments.
Ah, sweet memories! October days, wonderfull sexy people, holding hands, walking along a beach, drinking Key Lime Martinis. Good ole US of A!
Now I've got the giggles *snort*
I love your artwork, it RAWKS!
good morning sweetheart :0)

Echoing Trace word for word :-D
Thanks Leigh. Your very kind words are much appreciated. Glad you liked the martini image. Was one of my faves at the time and still very high on my list. :-)
That is really cool, something I could stare at and get lost in. I like where the story seems to be going. Let's go! ;-)
Happy Hump Day to you and Jack! *HUGS*
Morning Tube. Afternoon Sunshine. Hope you're both having a one-of-a-kind day. :-)
Big Smile. :-)
Thanks Karen. Now, where the story is going next I have no idea. :-D
But I do appreciate your enthusiasm very much. :-)
Beautiful, Great story too.
This IS the BEST picture!!
Thanks Mark.
Saffron, I just never know what you will like and what you won't. Glad you liked this one so much. It is a fun image--nothing serious about it in any way. Just fun. :-)
