This is my entry for the
Three Muses challenge this week- "Give Us A Hand". It is a digital collage made from a cropped hand image (Dover) and an image of one of my mosaic tiles I made in the background -which I altered by using a stained glass and then tile filter. The thing I really enjoyed about this challenge was viewing a lot of images of hands and finding one that was sensitve and expressive. Focusing in on just hands gives an interesting perspective to the overall piece of art as they(hands) are often so expressive in themselves- a sort of painting within a painting. Very cool challenge this week!

This is a VERY cool, matter of fact - AWE-some, artwork, Lori! I love that you've used your tile for the background, and the "hand" itself, is just amazingly full of grace and sensitivity. Bravo! Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteStunning…
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the stained
glass mosaic in the background…

I'm glad you enjoyed the process this week, and I want you to know your art blows me away! This is just an exquisite piece, Lori, thoughtfully and beautifully done. I think we will all look at hands differently when we've finished this challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the different effects you've created here, Lori, spectacular stained glass window makes a stunning background for your 'hand'!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous piece, love the effects and the mosaic in the background is a lovely and soft touch of colour!!

Lori, I always look forward to seeing what you have for us in the challenges because what we always get is superb. I love how you have used your own mosaic tile design as a background and the clever way you have manipulated PS to achieve such a stunning and unusual result. Standing ovation!
ReplyDeleteTotally gorgeous, Lori!
ReplyDeletejust great!!!
ReplyDeleteYes focusing on hands was a good exercise...am in awe of your digital skills...and love the name of this piece...we need to be sending this little rose all round the world so its perfume can reach everybody!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and thought-provoking work of art, Lori! The textures in your collage are fantastic, especially when the image is enlarged. Great ideas about hands in your text!
ReplyDeleteReally serene and befitting of the title. It feels almost ecclesiastical (no idea how to spell that!). I was going to do a painting this week... but then I saw yours and Terry's digital artworks and it got me thinking... maybe I'll just combine the two!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Lori this is a jaw dropper if ever I saw one. Absolutely, wonderfully stunning.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutelly beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love how you used to colors,the overall effect is so calming.
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork, Lori (as always) !
ReplyDeleteWow! This is awesome! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteLori, your work shows that you did spend a lot of time on this beautiful piece. I love your mosaics in the background.
ReplyDeleteLori - how very cool this is! I love the sensitive hand... plucking the flower... and in contrast to your brightly coloured mosaic background. Just perfect! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the effect on this Lori,totally cool!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing mix of color and texture - lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour digital piece is absolutely wonderful. You inspire me to learn!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many comments on this piece already, but I did have to include mine. Really an amazing piece of art...the texture & color are supurb & I love the concept. Well done Lori!!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful entry!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are an absolute genius of composition, as this piece so perfectly illustrates. The stained glass background is a brilliant and unexpected foil for the graphic quality of the hand image. I always look forward to seeing what you create, Lori.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great design, Lori! I like the hand you chose, and how it's designed. I also like the mosaic background. And you're right about it was enjoyable looking at different hands, while trying to come up with something for the challenge.
