••> The twenty first prompt for 2010, an idyllic painting by Vane Kosturanov entitled: “FISHERMAN”. (click image to see larger in separate window)

So changing it up again this week, I have decided to offer this titled visual prompt. You can let yourself be inspired by the title. What are the levels of meaning one might attach to the term fisherman – beyond the obvious?

Or let the serene, ‘walden-esque’ image of the painting itself evoke in you the inspiration to write… deeply contemplative, perhaps a touch of expectation, possibility, or a little shiver of anticipation of the unknown! Take it in through your eyes, hold it a moment in your soul, then whatever it is that strikes you as you view, express it.

Simple this week, the title of the painting or the painting itself — whichever sparks your muse… just let yourself go with whatever it is that moves you to write. If you decide to feature the image of the “Fisherman” on your site along with your written piece, please be very certain to fully credit Mr. Kosturanov for his work, and I would suggest also including a link to his site.

My thanks to Mr. Kosturanov for granting us permission to use his art as our prompt for this week. If you would like to visit Vane’s site, click here.

Relax, respond to the prompt when you’re ready — or just leave a comment to say hi! As always, welcome to the the Island!!! 😉
