Invitation for collaboration accepted on the last moment :D My entry for Angles of Light contest with EVERLOVE
@everlove : "I love kids, and I love art"
This quote fits perfectly for this piece!
I have been intending to join an art contest for weeks and never made it in time, spending all my free time on crypto, but this time it was meant to be.. on the last moment but still.
Last Tuesday we had a parent's reunion in my daughter's kindergarten.
It is a Waldorf style school and they really engage their creativity there.. And parents' creativity also!
Meanwhile talking about the matters of the kindergarten and our offspring, we had a chance to try what our children do every Monday morning.
Painting water colours on wet sheet of paper.
What a calming technique!
The school itself is also really calm place and the teachers really angelic :D
Not to mention all the trolls faeries saints and angels the space is decorated with.
Can you see the angels there?
Well once I started fiddling with Photoshop I turned this sublime beauty into something bit darker.. reflecting the mood I'm in at the moment and going towards higher contrast scale of the offering image:
Just to bring you little bit closer to the process, here is the layer of stretched trimmed and adjusted offering images overlaying my original piece.
These are on full Opacity and Fill, also NORMAL blend mode, so you can see them better ..
In the resulting image they have different settings...
Tell me what you think. I really appreciate Constructive Criticism and Feedback !
Have a great time ! Find time for yourself , especially if you have children. It is invaluable.
Love to you all, beautiful people !
I messed up and made this post with some errors first, then posted this corrected version, thinking to delete the first one one, but cant find the way to delete my post! In case you wonder why there are 2 posts almost identical.
The main error is that I have been misreading the title as ANGELS of LIGHT :D So that is my take on it.
Angels!
Waldorf!
Children!
Art - reflecting the mood I'm in at the moment!
Doing what children do!!
Oh my @furius! What is there not to love about this post!
I love that you interpreted my image to be Angels--I actually thought about naming it that, but figured everyone would turn it into wings and get caught in the angel theme. You were one of the few that actually took it there anyway. I'm so glad you did. This is a really great piece. I love how you shifted the colors, I love spirals, and I love angels too! Great job with this interpretation. I'm so very glad you are a part of this journey.
Your profile bio is very intriguing--it seems we may have much in common. I like the idea that your kids are in Waldorf and that you jumped right in to be a part of their everyday world. There is much to appreciate there.
Thanks for the blessing of being here, and for sharing so many beautiful angels. I love it that way!
Following you!
:D Thank you @everlove :D
And sorry for a late reply! I've just come back from a holiday away from PC screen, I had to reconnect with reality! The last 2 months were dedicated to cryptocurrencies, but now I feel more inspired to actually creating. Thank you for your reply, it is the kind of impulse I need :D I don't get to talk about my stuff or to show it much.. guess I just have to keep posting on steemit :D looking forward to next collaboration :D
Just keep on keepin on @furius. A reconnection to reality is a good feeling. You sound like a man of many interests, which always keeps things interesting anyway. I'm glad you're inspired to keep on posting. With all of our input and engagement with each other, Steemit just keeps getting better and better. Grateful to have you in this artists' community, @furius.
