Welcome to Photo Art Friday!
This week (January 18th - 19th) any piece of photo art is welcome, as is any piece that adheres to the optional theme of "entrances" and/or "exits". Don't forget, our doors open earlier than before. Now on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. EST.
I have been
How does this relate to the theme of entrances and exits, you might ask? Well, there are several entrance and exit points in every face. In these face images a good portion of the work centered around the mouth which is an entrance for food and air, and an exit for sounds and language. A stretch? Maybe ... but it works for me. :)
Speaking of exits and entrances, couldn't resist including this digitally edited image of an 'exit and entrance cemetery', or ... maybe it's a 'secret exit from hell' ... just push on the door and step out! :)
Next week (January 25th, 26th) as always you may post any piece of photo-ART you wish. Please note the accent on ART - digital art using your photographs.
If you would like to be prompted by a specific theme ... how about the word: hardware.
The word "hardware" is used to describe many different types of objects, so it might be worth looking it up in a dictionnary to see all the possibilities and interpretations open to you.
Oh, the faces are fabulous, Bonnie!
ReplyDeletemy favourite is the first edit. Love it. There is a bit of sadness but not much.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your faces are fantastic...and the added processing makes them absolute works of art. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes are windows to the soul, so they could "entrances" instead:). Fabulous face art Bonnie. Have a wonderful weekend.

Such interesting pieces of art Bonnie. We love our wacom tablet too, they're great fun aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, the face artwork was a clever interpretation of the theme. The second image is particularly intriguing. A thought-provoking prompt--I had fun with it, thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your interpretations of the theme. Looks like you're having a lot of fun with your Wacom tablet.
ReplyDeleteAh your creative muses are working overtime, the face are fantastic. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLove the faces, especially the first two!
ReplyDeleteA stretch, Bonnie? Not at all ... these are exactly what I would expect from your wonderful creative mind. They are beautiful ... I feel like I have just wondered through a mondern art museum. As for the exit from hell ... that might explain a lot that is going on around us these days (and seriously clever :)

Wow- the faces are terrific. I just found this blog and love it. I am going to start working on hardware for next week already. I'm enjoying learning new things - now I'm off to visit the others that have posted.
ReplyDeleteYour faces are so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love what you did Bonnie, so artsy and sooo creative!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pieces, all of them, Bonnie. The last one is a bit creepy tho. lol
ReplyDeleteGreat and interesting work!
ReplyDeleteThose faces are just stunning, and I was just thinking this morning about investing in a Wacom Bamboo pad! Synchronicity! That door made me laugh - well spotted :O)))
ReplyDeleteThese faces are fabulous, I think. I like them a lot!
ReplyDeleteA most original concept with the open faces Bonnie. The gateway to below must be the opposite of stairway to heaven. Thanks for the theme - so inpsirational I could not choose just one
ReplyDeleteYour faces are incredible!
ReplyDeleteyour pieces always amaze me, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you have had with your faces art!! They are fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! A whole new level... Love the first one - that style and balance really works for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating concept, to combine photos of faces with art effects in Photoshop. The overlay of your own canvas texture really enhances the feeling of handmade rather than digitally created art. I am really taken with the third image! It is wonderfully expressive, hinting at humour and sensuality, mystery and pensiveness.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThese are very interesting and unique. My favorite is the 1st one and then the pop art looking one. Also liked the door photo at the end. A very interesting theme that everyone has done a great job with.
