WELCOME TO PHOTO ART FRIDAY!
This is the first piece I edited with my new vivid textures (think I used one very similar to Abstract Elements "Splotches"). I did it a couple of weeks ago and don't recall each step now, but I believe I would have generally been using the steps given in this tutorial. The original photo is a red gerbera.
Let's try an optional, broad 'suggestion' for the photo art next week.
If it suits your creative mood, use one of my textures to create the photo 'art' you present here next week. (I appreciate that many of you have already been making a point of doing so. It has not gone unnoticed. Merci!) So for next week's Photo Art Friday, use one of my textures ... if you can ...
But if you have a piece in mind that does not use textures, or uses textures acquired from one of the many other great sources out there, that is just fine too.
We are serving our virtual sparkling water or virtual champagne again this week. Do have a glass while you stroll through the virtual gallery. I've already had a couple while waiting for you! Bet you can guess which I chose ... (hiccup...hiccough) ... ;)
What beautiful colors and great texture, I love those red petals. If you want to participate in the tribute just have to tell me and I put a link in my post to yours. In addition to being Canadian you would be phenomenal. Come on, I hope.
ReplyDeleteAnother great work of art Bonnie! Love the red and the texture! Perhaps I should try for something more in the way of art soon! Thanks for the champagne :)
ReplyDeleteThe reds work so well together, united by the swish of the splotches :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, thought I'd join in the fun. I really like the bright cheerful colors and composition of your artwork, and the splatters just make it for me! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeletePS: I also loved your comment over at Ragzedge on the tarot cards. Very insightful...
love your bright, colorful gerbera edits!
ReplyDeleteVery striking. The texture looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMakes your subject matter quite different and unique.
I'm excited because I found an easy to understand tutorial on how to add texture so now I can use one of yours for next week.
Beautiful, colorful art!

Wanted to say: what a beautiful collection of entries on you list. And that after such a short time already.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful red picture. Great work with amazing forms ! Have a nice weekend, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo...very modern art.
ReplyDeleteIt will be easy to meet the challenge next week. Love your textures.
Thanks...
Your art is, once again, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am learning SO much from seeing what others (on the linkup) are doing.
It invigorates and encourages me to experiment.
Thank you all.
I am drooling over your textures! I would truly love to use some but 1. I have NO idea how, and I am not in a position to purchase any either. maybe in the future. I would still love to link up though! Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! Well, mine may not be as artisitic, but baby steps . . . right? ; )
ReplyDeleteBonnie, Thank you so much for sharing and hosting. Everything you post is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, thanks for hosting yet another wonderful link up, the standards are so high here! I love your image, really energising and vibrant :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Thanks, Bonnie, for hosting Photo Art Friday. It's fun to see so many creative works. I tend to stick to more subtle texture work, but I love the vivid reds in your abstract Gerbera!
ReplyDeleteLynne, from Ragzedge Arts has not been able to leave her comment, so I (Bonnie) am leaving it for her:
ReplyDeleteI love the painterly splotches and the vivid red of your alteredgerbera. Hot yet autumnal in the tones. In fact, the more I look at it, the more I see the tracings of an autumn leaf bursting forth in all its red glory and then gradually fading, breaking up, falling away, in the quieter undertones of your composition
Happy Thanksgiving!
Lynne
Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI have outfoxed Blogger and found my way in through the back door! Fabulous photo art in the gallery. Thanks for hosting.
Lynne
Fun to be with a contest where you can use texture.
