This is my entry for the 4x4Friday challenge where the theme is Mantra. This digital collage represents my own personal mantra of "stay grounded"; being firmly rooted and yet able to branch out and sway with the inevitable storms that life hits you with. The background of this piece is from a personal photo I took in the city of some very dense and enchanting trees (themselves rooted around concrete yet reaching higher and around power poles)! The image is from Dover. Artistic gradient filters added in Photoshop.

ReplyDeleteLori, this is so full of meaning. I love how the blending of earth and sky colors speaks to your explanation of staying grounded while at the same time reaching up and branching out. Beautifully conceived and beautifully executed!

Lori, I don't think my comment made it through the ethers, so I am trying again.
ReplyDeleteYour colors are so gorgeous. I love the blues and the fact that you used one of your own photos to make this. Staying grounded is indeed so important, even as we grow.
Also, you mentioned my Princess Raven piece and your daughter. Please feel free to run off a copy for her if you like. I would be honored for her to have her own personal copy of Princess Raven .
Lori, I just love visiting your blog. Your work is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteLori, this beautiful piece has a wonderful sense of serenity and calmness. Beautiful interpretation! Hugs, Terri xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteIsn't it odd that everyone interprets art in different ways. Several people commented about how calming this piece is, but when I saw it, I immediately felt energy from the trees. It's really a lovely piece, no matter how one interprets it.
