I have been a fan of Gone With the Wind for over two decades now, running onto the book the long summer I spent in my body cast after my back surgery as a child. I have since read the book other times, and I bought the video as soon as I could in the early 90s. I especially enjoy the book because each time I read it, I find things and ideas I had missed before. At different times in my life, I have found myself to feel differently about the characters, which makes it a whole new book and new experience.
I was often inspired by the book and movie at a time when I fancied myself an artist. Here are a couple of the works of art I did, seemingly on a common theme:

|
| Pencil Drawing from the "Marry me, Scarlett" scene. (I once painted this, but I gave the painting to a friend, so I don't have it.) | This is a
typewritten picture adaptation of the picture from the
publicity poster I typed for a contest in Enquirer
in 1985. (Click the picture to see a larger version.) See my Cross Stitch Page for the cross stitch I did of the graph. |
I endeavored to make GWTW Quote of the Week pages for much of the year. I have since stopped, but please click the above link to check out the quote pages I made. The quotes were chosen at random (okay, not so random, as many come from my favorite parts of the book) from the actual wording of Margaret Mitchell's prose. The backgrounds I made up myself using Paint Shop Pro.
I also have three books on Gone With The Wind which provide inspiration:
Gone With the Wind, The definitive Illustrated History of the Book, the Movie, and the Legend, Herb Bridges, 1989.
