Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Fantastic!

Rosemary (Mar 9, 2006)
i really love this picture but somehow...the more i look at it..the more i see one eye is a bit higher than the other :\....maybe im just looking too hard....

:-) Rosemary: I am convinced it's the mouth that's crooked. There's a lot that's off, I'm sure. The more I fuss with it, the worse it gets so I think I'm gonna leave it. I'm trying to find a way to be accurate without being a slave to accuracy so that I can concentrate on expression and a particular emotional content for a portrait. I think it works pretty well with this one because I chose it for it's feeling of benevolence and whimsy. It makes me smile, too.

Bob: Thanks for the link to the music video. Nice version--I don't know their work.

Thanks everyone for kind words and suggestions.

That soooo looks like Harry Potter...just had to say that...cause it's true. Splendid work, your strokes are always consistant. :)

Halfway between Harry Potter and Willy Wonka, I think. Brings to mind that quote, "We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams."

I think in the ref the glasses are tilted down more to the left, which would explain why the left eye seems a bit high here. I only notice it on prolonged viewing though. Great subject, it's a very happy picture.

Okay, seeing this just made my day. Awesome work, I love the textures and the subject.
comd (Mar 12, 2006)
I love all of them, but I have to say that I liked the first version the absolute best when he had a longer nose and chin and the look was a tad more painterly.
