Patina

This is my entry for The Three Muses challenge where the theme is one of my favorite colors "Turquoise". I use turquoise so often in my art, my home, my wardrobe, jewelry, you name it.  I am very drawn to it's visual energy and sense of both warmness and coolness at the same time.  A perfect complement color is copper which  with age and exposure to the elements turns a beautiful '"patina green" or a natural turquoise which I have tried to capture in this digital piece.Imagery here from Dover, Finecrafted designs with lots of photoshop painting and filters.

  2. This is stunning. I believe everything has energy ... color, stones, etc. Turquoise is a very friendly stone ... giving one to a friend is common in some cultures....namely mine.

    Love always !
