I want an illustration for a short story that features a heart attack. The image should be like an abstract expressionist painting of the idea of a heart attack, not a stock image. While I don’t paint, I do take (and often edit) photos. Can I edit one of my photos for my story? Yes. It’s a birdbath photo, of course.
Irony ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #289
The verbal irony of ending this post’s excerpt with
It’s a birdbath photo, of course.
would be lame without the factual irony that the photo is indeed a photo of a birdbath. Don’t worry. We have a twofer.
My birdbath’s glass bowl has a subtly colored swirl, not the usual garish clip art of idealized birds and flowers. I bring it indoors for the winter and sometimes shoot closeups when the light is interesting. This one photo has an ominous look and some dark red, so I edited it to fit the planned layout of my story: rotate, squeeze the width, and crop. Here is a link to the resulting illustrated story:

<smile> I look forward to reading this short story illustrated by a birdbath which is, rather, a heart attack.
Nice birdbath by the way.
