Art Stories
|
When I'm creating my artwork, many times the ideas come to me in the form of stories. Since the art has these stories associated with them I decided to have fun with this and create a section of my site for these stories as they evolve. Below are the newest entries for these ongoing stories. Click on the "read more" link to read the entire story from the beginning.
Check back regularly for updates to my stories. Enjoy!
Appletree Hollow Story
Below is the newest entry in my Appletree story. You can read the entire story here.
To begin: the discovery was just before Easter this year. On the left is the first image I posted from the album & diary, which is dated: Oct.22, 1816.
Bertrum Patch (left) & Maggie Peck(right). Here they are shown as childhood friends.
There was not a lot of information about them as children but in later life they married and became the first interracial couple of Apple Tree Hollow.
Appleshire Story
Below is the newest entry in my Appleshire story. You can read the entire story here.
As the last of the dried sea salt dissolving from her aching body, Sydney felt a renewed sense of purpose. She maintained a strong commitment to her goal but regretfully wished that she had asked someone how long it would take to get to the village.
She stared at the road ahead; it looked much smaller and darker than before. She could see the arms of the huge knurly trees connecting in tangles high above and could hear them creak and moan as they reached out to each other. A shiver of doubt washed over her and she began questioning herself, “Are the trees larger than before? Where is that wood sprite thing? Why did she leave? I think I made her mad, and come to think of it, I haven’t seen that big black bird anywhere, I wonder where it flew off to. Why didn’t I ask more questions?”
