I remember passing through similar fields on a school excursion, and I tried drawing the picture with crayons. Crayon tips are thick, and I couldn’t get the strands right.
Later in class, I was sitting behind Gloria Smith, the only one with golden hair in the class. Inspiration struck again, and I tried redoing the picture watching the back of her head. It was better, but the black pencil changed the effect, and the theme.
Lessons learnt:
Certain things look good in their own setting. Mixing my imagination and art can create a spoof, but not replicate the original. I’m not sure if Gloria would have fancied a dark-haired wig.
I’m happier with camera phones now, which we did not have back then.
Creative Experiments and More 
True 🙂 So many scenes do not look the same in photos.

I can remember trying to color with crayons and struggling with fine lines. I also love having a decent camera phone nowadays…I have no artistic talent. Enjoyed your take!

Excellent take. You should have continued with mixing your imagination and art, who knows you might have come up with an abstract masterpiece, like some I have seen auctioned for a large sum.

One can do abstract better with the ‘pour’ technique. Watch a Youtube video on it.

We are very lucky to have phones with such great camera’s now, Reena. I am to perfectionist for drawing.

Van Gogh’s Sunflowers didn’t look the real thing, but it worked! I wonder what he would have done with a camera?

Clicked it, traced outlines and then painted with vivid colors of his imagination 😀 The vivacity of sunflowers never fail to fascinate.
