You probably came to this post because you are wondering if you follow these rules. I would be wondering too. Well, let me tell you, girl, these rules
If You Go Away- One of the most romantic English songs by
Description From the cozy and simpler continents of the Single Vanishing Point and the Two Vanishing Points, where at least one dimension could be "automatic," to the vast land of Three Vanishing Points where ALL three spatial dimensions are under the control of the artist, there are the distant continents of Four, Five, and even Six Vanishing Points. More complex, more abstract than the usually-straight-line realms of the first three, those CURVED dimensions, forcing one to think in a more abstract and maybe distorted way. Between them one could visit places that were neither one nor the other, such as the ones that could be called "3 1/2 Vanishing Points," large islands neither 3VP nor 4VP. But to stand on the far edge of the land of Six Vanishing Points, thinking that is all, except for exploring more of those places there is nothing else...wait...what is that, across the sea, barely seen...no, it couldn't be, could it... Continents. Far, far across the water, little explored, undefined, are places beyond that Sixth Vanishing Point. Abstract, weird lands where the simple beauty of one vanishing point may still have some meaning, but is just a small part of truly bizarre images, strange, sometimes crazy...yet obeying laws as surely as did the first six. Welcome. Welcome to the places beyond Six Vanishing Points. Although this is called "12VP," it could just as easily have been 10VP if I'd left out a curved line, or 14VP if I'd added one. These are highly subjective places, without the solid foundations of the first six; these continents can easily shift or move around. But in this case I chose six curved lines, with a "vanishing point" on the end of each. You could just as easily say that those five points near the center (two of the curved lines share the point on the horizon) are the vanishing points and that this is truly an "anti" four vanishing point realm. And of course those five points can come together as one or move apart more! Subjective. Very much so. If one had to describe this one, "anti-4VP" might be a good start. 4VP had curved lines meeting on either side of the picture using two points, as did the "3 1/2 VP," but this one has the curved lines converging at the CENTER with them moving apart at the sides! Thus a block drawn according to the rules of this weird realm will seem to shrink near the center and become larger towards the sides!! Yet even this strange set of rules has a practical application in the real world! Imagine a stadium or arena...curved rows of seats or benches or ledges going off into the distance... As those steps to the right. Each of the curved lines has two points, one on each end. Each of those points above the horizon has two sets of numbers next to it, like "VP11 VP12." That simply indicates which point was used for drawing which curved line; for example, I put the sharp end of the compass on "VP3 VP4" and the pencil end on the point on the Horizon to draw the curved line with "VP3" and "VP4." You do not, absolutely do NOT, have to try to do this the way I did. But this gives you the idea how to do it; to draw a mirror image of that curved line below the horizon (VP1 and VP2 curved line) you would put the sharp end of the compass the same distance below the horizon as the "VP3 VP4" point is above the horizon. And that is a friendly-looking castle, isn't it? It may be a weird place, but it's by no means scary!
Vanishing - As the world’s cities teem / with children—flooding
'In the beginning was the Word,' reads the Christian Gospel according to John -- just one example of how the primal creative import of words is acknowledged by religions and cultures all over the world.
For the FGR challenge, "Vanishing Point", hope it makes their cut.
El Oro Parakeet (Pyrrhura orcesi) - Buenaventura Reserve, Ecuador A break from Peru, an old photo from the vault, unfortunately I did not bring my harddrive with newer (and better) images of this species with me to Peru so this one will have to do. The talented Emma Steigerwald & myself just put out an article on Mongabay about this species and an ecological corridor being established for the benefit of the parakeets & other threatened species. The parakeets are endemic to a small portion of Ecuador and extremely endangered, this is the latest step in the effort to keep them from vanishing.

Conceived back when I thought I was doing a heavy jig set this year. Sadly...was not to be.

Vanishing Area Les sujets peints par Lou Ros n’ont a priori rien de fondamentalement actuel. Au premier regard, ils pourraient même paraître tout à fait classiques – pour peu qu’on ait, bien entendu, accepté un certain traitement de la toile hérité d’une longue histoire des avant-gardes picturales. L’artiste représente des paysages, en grands ou moyens…
