In reply to Joe Owens. I guess it happens all too often - perhaps more frequently without physical injury to anyone than we will ever know. I can still vividly remember being hit by a car when I was about eight and on my way to school. I didn't see it or hear it, but fortunately the driver saw me and breaked so the car hit me in the most gentle way a moving car can hit anyone. I don't remember whether I was even bruised, but I know it's an experience I've never forgotten.

How tragic. We just had something like this near me where an eight year old boy rode his bike out into the path of a pick-up truck. He is still living, but not doing well at all. I can imagine how similar the event was.

In reply to David Stewart. Thank you, David. That was one of the effects I was trying for.

I like the way time slows right down at the moment of impact and then slowly fades. Great illustration too.

Thanks Rochelle!
No indeed. I plan to continue participating, certainly next week. After that I’ll have to take a break for a couple – perhaps three weeks – but I’ll be back for sure in August.
Shalom to you too,
🙂

In reply to rgayer55. Very many thanks Russel. Now horrified by the prospect of not being able to better myself. (Joking!) I really appreciate you comments.

John,
This is an outstanding piece, even without the art, which I thought was fantastic. I would say this is your best piece TO DATE. You’ve set the bar pretty high, but I believe the BEST is yet to come. Keep up the good work.
