Skull of Persistence

skull-of-persistence-charr-crail

This is dedicated to the person on my street who– for days–  has been trying to start a car.  For hours on end the ignition is turned and held on but the car never starts.

Today I was inspired to create a new piece that is part of a series of skull images I’ve been working on for a couple of years now.  I happened to be searching my mind for a title when the ignition again caught my attention.  No need to get all heavy or philosophical here.  Persistence is key sometimes to getting what you want.  Whether it’s a car to start, answers to the questions of a developing artwork, bringing your invention to the market or something you simply want in life just because you want it.  Persistence. Where would we be without it?

Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, my own homemade photoshop brushes and my own homemade fractals were all used to complete this part piece.

Welcome to the wonderful colorful world of Charr Crail, artist, photographer, teacher, author, mentor, fabric designer and all around creatively insatiable woman!  In this blog I will be posting pictures, ideas, inspirations, life lessons and anything that inspires my lively quirky brain that I consider worth sharing.  Comments are not only appreciated but encouraged!  Please share!

This site is a bit in the creation stage so your patience while I get all the tentacles planned for this site together is appreciated.  I teach a wide variety of workshops including Photography and the Arts and will be posting details and dates soon.

In the meantime here’s a fun photo from a series I’m working on… This one is Skull of Frivolity.
