PORTRAIT OF A PROUD OLD RED BUS
In a previous Life... a hard working life,
she had faithfully logged many thousands of miles,
magically whisking people around the busy city,
barely noticed even with her beautiful RED-ness.
Now pleasantly retired,
she's the star of every social event she attends!
She stands proud and flaunts her RED-ness,
and is adored by young and old alike.
They all come by to pay their respects
in admiring oohs-and ahhs and compliments,
taking many flattering photos of her unique beauty.
As she heard one older gentleman put it,
"Ohhh Yes! She's a real smile-maker eh?"
its a reworked older photo from Ft Myers FL Art Fest 2009, HDRd 3 TIFFs created from 1 RAW; then "painted" lightly in Topaz Simplify to make it a bit more Impressionistic.
