Reality and Surreality

I had created a piece of art from a starting point of a photo I took this summer. The railroad bridge over the Little Miami River became a great, atmospheric piece when altered, and with the addition of a surreally large moon behind it. As I was contemplating what to say about it this morning, I was sent a link to the most surreal (but real!) places in the world, well worth looking at. Enjoy!

It occurred to me that this art would make a really good book cover. Although not for anything I have written…

From photo to painting, with some work.

The original photo, the lines and angles of the bridge were interesting.
