A Picture is worth a thousand words...

Picture
As I was working on the picture above, I thought about that famous--infamous--cliche--saying many times.  The amount of time that it took me to paint it, was roughly the same as it took me to write half of the first draft of the novel the scene takes place in, some twenty thousand words,  The picture, as it happens in the book is described in perhaps a paragraph, maybe less, though, being but an instant in time, actually takes place between one word and the next.

It would take perhaps a thousand words to sufficiently describe the image, but they would be words no one today would have the patience to read, especially in an action novel.

Just some musings on the state of things.  Let me know what you think.
