Out To Pasture

Published:

Description

As part of a SecondLife Photoart contest for the new home sim of the "DISTRESSED TEXTURES" creator/vendor, my second of 2 constest submissions at the ETERNIDAD sim. I was sure this rusted antique farm truck on the sim would be photo'ed by make of the great artists that participated. Surprisingly less than I thought.

I tend to be drawn toward rusty old things (look at my Ironhouse Express art) so this caught my eye. The theme to this art was to be symbolic of this iron work horse of the farm that gave so much to the farmer in all the work and chores it was asked to do during its most productive years of its life, but then, like a real horse that has passed its good year, the old Betsy is simply PUT OUT TO PASTURE in the field.

In this angle where the setting sun sinks into the distance ocean's horizon, symbolizes the old iron horse's fading last days sinking like the setting sun. The distinct and blended clock adds to the AGE and TIME aspect as the clock appears to be sinking into the horizon with the sun.

The last gleaming warmth of the sun silhouettes the old horse in the pasture as time moves on.

This Photo Art has 6 of my own blending textures - including the clock.

So, as with the old horse... old Betsy is put "OUT TO PASTURE"

Really nice, looks like a scene out of 'Uncle Otto's Truck' by Stephan King.
