Fabulous Fountains in the Plaza by ladylake
Hi, from South Texas.
I like to swim, play cards and play on this computer with all sorts of programs. I am also an avid reader, mostly fiction.ย
I am glad you stopped by.....hope you will take time to look at my gallery. As a side note, I am honored to have been chosen as Artist of the Month for December 2022. Thanks to all that voted.

I think I've seen that second fountain in Europe years ago.
Thanks for the comment.
Nice! The second fountain is very familiar and the sculpture on the first is quite interesting.
Appreciate your comment.
A very classical Piece! The second one has a bit more Dynamics!
Thanks, Chris.
This is fantastic work.

Thanks a bunch, Saby.
The ones I'm skipping over are as fine as the ones I'm commenting on...I just had to say that...This is a european-feeling image (2 images actually)...an old plaza fountain that one sees a lot of though europe...
The first one has a wind swept statue in the fountain---you see those two. I mean it's marble (or some stone) but the sculptor carved it to look like fabric blowing in the wind. These agitated almost angry-looking statues were sometimes included to keep away evil spirits. And the water here is almost like melted ice cream. Very sensuous. Love the shadowed arches. (Europeans loved arches. Well, everyone loved arches. They were much more majestic than flat ceilings.).
The second one is more contrasted, more dramatic. Without the guy. Here the water looks like frosting! You got wonderful effects in thise. Ad the structure behind it is in that wonderful sandy stone and plaster, very mediterranean...(Could you imagine having an entry like this? "Just walk around it...a little sprinkler system we put in...it's no biggie..." Love this pair.
(I don't know if comments will allow links: If a link doesn't show up, just ignore this. But if it does, this is a famous statue in the style of yours here...Bernini's "David" (from the bible). Here goes; hope it sticks:

Thanks for the link. Again, a lot of time I don't have a clue about the "real" nature of things, I just keep rearranging words in a prompt until I get what is pleasing to me. Sometimes it does come close to the real thing. lol
