Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend, For the lesson thou hast taught! Thus at the flaming forge of life 45 Our fortunes must be wrought; Thus on its sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought! Excerpted from The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow My friend John is a smith among other things. He makes all sorts of things in his forge. I recently asked him to make a set of tongs for picking up a burning log in my fireplace. he made a dandy set and I await cold weather so I can use them. All of my works are fine art photographs. The Fine Art America algorithms do not allow photos to be sold as original art so in order to offer the original piece, my work must be listed as digital art.

Artists have been accused of being self aggrandizing, long winded, name droppers. I hate it when the critics get it right!

Thanks Athala. You're so verbose!
Barbara McMahon
Fantastic image Bill! I can smell the forging process and feel the heat from the fire! My grandfather was a blacksmith/ironworker so perhaps I'm predisposed to my affection for this image. The sparks are amazing! Love the Wadsworth excerpt also. v/f

Kate Purdy
Love to see a true craftsman! Nice use of selective color. v.8
William Fields replied:
Thanks very much Kate! Coincidentally, your family name is common in our town and the smith may be related to some Purdys.
Randy Rosenberger
I love the use of selective coloring on this great piece, William! Becoming a lost art like coopers, smithies, etc. It takes a talent to do this hard laborious task, and one would have to be quite creative. Your creativity in this capture, description, and superlative presentation is remarkable! Thanks for sharing this unique piece with us. Fave and vote and tweet and FB and g+1 on this masterpiece in both arts!
William Fields replied:
Randy, thanks very much. You're more than kind!
