Mag 107–I Want! (The perfect Chapeau)
Below if my rather silly offering for Magpie Tales 107, hosted by Tess Kincaid. My picture is based on a really great photo by Seralta Ban.
I Want!
She has always adored
a Fedora–rakish on a man,
foxy on a woman–the perfect
chapeau for one
and all, but especially, she thinks,
for her, because,
with such a large head, she
really needs
a man’s size hat.
And now–smack
under her nose!
Will he, she wonders,
take credit?
Have a great Sunday! And, if you have time, check out, please, my books! Comic novel,NOSE DIVE, book of poetry, GOING ON SOMEWHERE, or children’s counting book 1 MISSISSIPPI. )

You’re a great artist, K, Ma’am! Nothing silly, it’s perfect! Pastel is a great media. It’s fast and brings out the likeness very well with strong shadow support! And a Fedora for her! Your verse is just as great!

Thanks so much, Hank, but I have to confess that I use the iPad 2. I do use pastels and gouache on occasion and illustrated a children’s book called 1 Mississippi, but I am very lazy/busy these days and use the iPad 2 as it is so marvelously fast. (It allows for a fair amount of cheating too.) But it’s quite fun. I use a great app called Brushes, which I then combine/modify with various photo apps — photo gene or photoshop for iPad. The photo apps are a way of tilting the color otr other aspects of the “brushed” image. I don’t actually always use the photo apps, but there are many great visual tools on the iPad, very cheap. K.

A very nice poem! I am really glad not everyone thought the woman in the picture as bitchy as I did! *smile*

Now, this is a great take on the picture!

Sort of ‘snap’ – I even like fedoras too, as well as image playing! Another great one here. 🙂

I want one too!

Wonderfully witty… o the Fedora. One of the last lovers of my last decade– I’ve given up sex for eternity, not only Lent– had a Fedora. Things went south when, as my dinner guest, he perched the grimy thing on a linen lampshade at the dining table. Not incidentally, he had also shorn himself of his pants.

Ha! In that case, he could have at least kept the hat on his lap! k.
