FF55 3/1/13 How Many Blacksmiths ?

Grey is down in speckles and stones
A carriage propped for two wheels

A horse foot raised, rasped,
near a fire and bellows.  

A Silo needs its cap,
four yellowy houses are framed.

Church has half its steeple.
Orange fields are begun

Red trees curving,
Blue sign stretches

along a big barn
with white doors.



 
                                                       It has been an exceedingly dingy, wet week.
One thing to detest about the end of Feb....However this puzzle has lifted my spirits
on several occasions! There are two burly Blacksmith's in this picture-maybe they are brothers ?

I don't know how many... I know I like the images you paint.

I love how this took me back to when the blacksmith came to shoe my horse, Gypsy...all the sights and sounds. Perfect, izzy!

My God woman you are such a complex writer. I was fascinated with this piece. Two burly brothers I do believe could handle these projects...:P
Loved your Iron Pounding 55

YOU ROCK BABY!!!

I loved this--I was thinking it was about a painting in progress, but it also reminded me of a world trying to get back to it's real form--that is a summer world, emerging from the disguise of winter. Really neat that it was a puzzle.

There are blacksmiths in the picture? I'm overwhelmed in all the color.

My February is gray and dismal, too. Seems the clouds take forever to lift.

I love the way your mind works, izzy. Also, I am consistently impressed how you paint with your words instead of relying on an image for help (which is what I do!).

What a great colorful puzzle!

Our blacksmith had a speech impediment--talk-challenged?--last time I recalled him was about 65 years ago...until NOW! That totally-worn-out, leather apron had so wonderful a smell.

Thanks for the memory.

(Several B'smiths had speech problem--every one of them had been kicked in the face by a horse or mule. Interesting?)

Wanna know why I "feel" cheated? Where's the PICTURE?
Hugs!
