Title: Earth
3Muses Challenge: Use a circle in an artwork
The How/Source Imagery:
Earth was based on the idea of filling in a divided circle , much-manipulated magazine imagery was used to see how far I could go with it!
Picked broccoli and steak newspaper ads as the base and went from there...added a spruce tree in both =/- image from a backyard photo and a single PD photo ( ! ) of ancient SW -now US SW States area Anasazi ruins, and some texture photos I had from bark and sand close-ups..
When done, it reminded me of either a First Nations/Native American Dream-catcher or a Warriors sheild ..
In & Out/back&Forth of vacation/at home-time, this past week, this and next; so thought to submit this fitting piece I did a few months ago in when I came back and read the theme!
Oh wow thanks for taking us through how you achieved this wonderful piece, and it does look like a dream catcher. Great work.
ReplyDeleteI think you engaged in serious legerdemain here. Try as I might, I see no vestige of steak, broccoli, spruce, or Anasazi! It does, however, have the look of a dreamcatcher. Thanks for taking us on your art journey!
ReplyDeleteOh this is amazing- I love what you did and how you did it- it does remind me of a Warrior Shield- just beautiful work!

ReplyDeleteYour working methods, and your results, never seem to stop amazing me! Wonderful artwork, full of mystical beauty (in spite of the broccoli...)!
ReplyDeleteThank-you, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI always love reading about how someone else creates their work...the hows and whys and ins and outs...just hoping I don't get too "wordy" sometimes about mine with my own comments!
Love your dreamcatcher! Never to "Wordy"...just right. I like it when an artist expains their thoughts and technique. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like what you did here. This piece came out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes!!! They are living in Cherry Hill, New Jersey!!! :O))))
ReplyDeleteVery interesting....must admit I thought 'dreamcatcher' as soon as I saw it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your very kind words about our challenge.
