CHILDHOOD is our word this week at Take a Word. That got me thinking about childhood and when I do that for some reason it makes me think of deep or dark images, of the the real meaning behind nursery rhymes for instance, or being frightened by clowns may be. I thought I might create a girl with her hands to her eyes (you know the one Judy) slowly counting to a hundred in a deep dark forest whilst her parents slip away. Mmmmm ... a tad too dark do you think? Yes, me too so in the end I went for a fairytale childhood : soft, dreamy and slightly out of focus. :D

Very soft and dreamy Ann... such a departure from Dali and darkness?! I hear what you're saying though and thank you so much for the compliment! =)
This picture is awesome. Just awesome.
I love the soft and muted look ... it is the perfect childhood image.
This is lovely, Ann - very dreamy and soft, just like childhood should be.
Soft, playful and the very best essence of childhood!
Oh so dreamy, Ann, what a gorgeous childhood treasure! (had to get my girl out of the 'knickers & vest' & give her a new pretty dress to prepare her for the upside down tree!!) LOL
This soft, ethereal piece is a quantum leap from your usual surreal pieces, Ann. It shows another side of your talent, and it's beautiful!
You did a lot of soul searching as to how approach this week's word and you obviously made the right choice because this artpiece is superb. I love the atmosphere you evoke which is perfect for the dreams of childhood. As Bev has said before me, it shows another side of Miss Ann and her talent!! Fantastic.
This is a very precious collage!
very soft and sweet...I admit, I was sort of expecting a little more sinister for childhood. haha! Love your stuff.
