Portal of Blessings / Submission for the Collaborative Art Journey
I'm participating in the collaborative art journey again this week hosted by @everlove. The idea is that everlove posts a piece of art and invites other artists to transform the piece however they choose. I imported the art into my digital painting software and liquified, painted, layered and transformed it and ended up with this.
In honour of the competition I'm titling it Portal of Blessings:
I'm slowly learning how to animate things so I made a short gif with it as well:
Here is the original art:

Looks like an ink blot test!
I agree---it really does. Those are super beautiful. The top one reminds of me of peppermint candy. YAY! So glad you are here with us @juliokponsford.
I'm pleased to have found a really cool community, I'll be participating every week if I have the time <3
You'll be glad you did. This is an incredibly supportive and connected community. We have built it together and it is getting stronger with each interaction. Grateful to have you amongst us @julakponsford.
Thanks I'm glad you like it. This is such a great concept, by starting with something I'm forced to work differently than usual and it makes for interesting results! I'm actually still doodling and transforming it as we speak and it looks completely different again. I wonder how many paintings I could make just starting from one image?
That would be a really great experiment--and a great post @juliakponsford!!! Often artists make more than one submission, and sometimes so many with poems, etc., that I'm not sure exactly how to count them in my totals. I'm always amazed at the diversity of the finished pieces. I love the surprise upon opening the posts and finding artful gifts. Ohhhh what a blessing!
Looks so cool! You have some great talent there!
Thanks! I have a lot of fun doing abstract, it's so freeing!
Really nice work
Thanks I had a lot of fun with this one, this project is really fun because everyone interprets the art so differently, it's great to see the final results! Is that weed in your avatar?
Very good work
Thank you gpic!
wow, this is very trippy!
