Description
*Whenever I create,
I am offering to you
a part of my spirit
to investigate.*
--------------
Photoshop, 6 layers, from this this picture of mine, 1 hour work.
For the current Theme "Creation, Beginning, Rebirth"
Modulation of tonal range courtesy of Synapse and crrunchyfrog's advice and help :) (love you angels :))
--------------
This is my proper take at January Theme after the casual (someway) inclusion into it
of my previous piece, "Your Last Rose". The concept is self evident,
and my words above just re-state it... Note that the"texture" that reminds of a canvas is
a note to remind of my love for painting with oils,that is always my favourite medium.
Talkin back about my statement,wheter that might be conscious, ambigous, openly
accepted and researched or contrariwise disguised, hidden, refused or dismissed EVERY
offspring of creativity (I'd never use easily the term "art", you know how picky
I am about that) shows the creator's soul.With the person's burden, barriers,mistakes
and misconcepts(or lies even) but also with his (hers) outbursts of vitalism, ideas and hopes.
Creativity is a therapy for the self,offered to others too as element to ponder.
Creativity is something precious that everyone possesses, in different ways, but it
exists within everyone, and it's a treasure we should always relate to, cos to
express it just makes life better, and I mean every kind of life, even the very uneasy one.
Is every creativity art? No way,art is certainly not merely creativity: art stands above,
way above that and it takes creativity in among many others elements to be considerated.
But that's not subject of the theme nor of this piece (and luckely, as I couldn't do "art"
in the high sense I define art...),so I will just shut up and let you enjoy this if you please.
:)Hugs:)

Very wisely! Truthful words! Superb and beautiful image. Excellent doneV!
Ogni volta che osservo la vostra arte, Accetto lo spirito con un cuore aperto
Hi Mel...what a fantastic work this day from you! Wonderful colors! Have a fantastic weekend! Kiss Eva
Someday I would like to hear how you define art. The artist here, looking at her reflection and the world around her, sees how she fits in, changes the immediate world in color and texture, and presents her vision for others to see and think about. Is all creation art? Do the past works of her life fit with the new work, as the portraits in the lower right do here?
Sono assolutamente d'accordo,Meli. Grazie per offrirci i tuoi bellissimi disegni da contemplare. Tra parentesi, se mai tenessi una mostra dei tuoi disegni, questa immagine sarebbe perfetta come poster. :)
We need to create as much as we need air, food and water. It is a part of the human condition, a devine part. Not all create art but, all are creaters. Great job Meli, love your face in this!
Dennoch ein anderes sch Bild des angestrengt Surrealismus . . . ! Hervorragende Leistung . . . !
Your art is so wonderful...just like you Meli!
I'd like to say something more... Is it so very important if something is art or not? Creativeness, bringing joy and happiness, all kinds of emotions, conversation... Meli, you can really talk about very important questions:-D
As you know my dear, I couldn't agree more ;) hugest hugs I do like this image very much, especially with the little tweak ;) I think I really like the text, it zips across my mind as ideas would. Hugs Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful creation :)
True words and true work! I agree, you really didn't need the caption! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful!!!! both picture and words work great together . thanks that you made it. come siete come bei, inoltre la vostra arte. Io sempre, per voi l Galaxy-Hugs your gregor
As you know my dear, I couldn't agree more either! ;-) hugest hugs It's a typically intimate work of yours, love the colour scheme (ahem) but just not sure about the typography, I like the placement of the words but not the font and mixture of upper and lower case... this all comes with practice though, my earliest experiments with typography at art college were pitiful ;-) Thanks for sharing this - and early too hugs :-)
Meli, your works always grab at me, the shear emotions they generate are something new to me.
Wonderfully Done! What a beautiful concept of art and so very true! Just Beautiful! :)
Amazing Artwork,Truly Excellent!! gets my vote...
Beautiful job. You have protrayed your thoughts very well indeed ad your warm colors say a great deal. Vote
Beautiful piece Meli! Love the warm colors here, they really suit u! I also like the texture and the concept! As for art, well, I think we do not agree here! ;) But as u said, this is not the place to debate about this! ;) All my love my sweet friend! Mwah!
A wonderful expression of self giving and art. And you seem to give, and give many times over.
I must agree with others, great artwork and colors!
In a world that sees beeanie babies and cabbage patch kids as creative and embryos as refuse, art must pull it's own weight. There is a tendency to dismiss kinetic and dynamic things like animations and mobiles as digressions. Sculpture must leap to impersonation of Gods to be accepted. Then there is the canvas and the poster and the photograph flattened as decoration for a wall that is taken beyond a frame, given projection into interior spaces filled with salient wonders. A head in a crystal ball could be a dream of a princess. Lime is a suitable medium for expression. The wall is made clean.
strong true words ! beautiful image Meli:)
I am late with my comment so I can only agree the other comments! Wonderful colors and a real Idea.
A wonderful result from a wonderful beginning. Creation beginning and now.
Fantastic artwork Meli!!
Beautiful! Meli, you give us so much! No problem for me, I could receive images like this any time.
Meli, you've done again! I bow to you and your creativity. From your images to your words you have such an elegant way of being self-expressive. What makes that so special is that it comes from the heart. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and visions. All is pure and true.
creativity is good for the soul, to share a piece of ourselves is vital to our well being... i would explode if i kept it inside... wonderful collage & thought, really like those warm tones & whatever you do, don't drop yourself! hugz
