I wanted to work with some really rich deep colors here. The roses are photos from my yard overlayed (opacity reduced) onto a beautiful image from Dover copy free images. Latin illumination from Dover also added.
After the long Thanksgiving weekend (I'm still washing dishes!) I am turning my thoughts toward the Holidays now. I am not an overly religious person but I find myself drawn to the more spiritual nature in art and imagery and love to work with these kinds of images to create a mood and a feeling rather than something commercial or trendy. Certain images just jump out at me and I have to work with them; create something new with them, something that touches and expresses a deep part of me. Perhaps a part that is longing to be exposed but is reluctant. Art is the inner voice.

I'm not overly religious either and I'm also attracted to frescoes with halos or church sculptures of any kind. This image, along with the roses overlayed and clock behind is so very moving to me. It looks like the cover to a book. You've done it again. Another favorite!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Lori, and I like what you said about how the images draw you to them and you have to use them. i am not really religious either, but love religious art. It has such strong feelings shining out of it that I think anyone, religious or not can be affected by them.
