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:)

Soul disection is an exciting job with you love. It is true. As you say. Always a piece of your mind to share. As well as mine. We will never go hungry feasting on each other's souls. A lovely and inspiring piece. Your reflection in the wine held by your hand. Very peaceful. Hugs my dear.

super job two thumbs up
Beautiful image. Hand and the reflection on a ball are good idea.
That's the reason why I enjoy your work so much,... (Whenever I create, I am offering to you a part of my spirit to investigate)
EXCELLENT
Do I need to say anything?! Of course!! I like the colors and the composition...
art is a sculpture of ones creative mind, everyone has a form of creativity in their day/night dreams or visions, and the way to express it either on paper or in performance or any other expression, it is and always will be ART... smile nowadays its all a bit more extended, now ppl have an other tool to create something, it's called a computer ... but the goal remains the same, ya use a tool to create something which ya have in your mind ... anyways, your art is very creative as well, and is thus ART smile ... very well done, Meli ... :-))
Abstractionism always leaves me scratching my head Galli girl...very creative and lovely but can't even begin to say I understand lol!!!
Well....not to add another "wow, it's awesome!" comment, but I really enjoyed this one. It's very evocative, drawing me in to enjoy the art itself. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely and wonderful as always :) I had written a longer and more interesting comment before but it seems to have been lost..I have problems with this site at least 5 times a month..usually not when I comment..sadly this time it was ;) Anyway..as said, it is wonderful and deep and thought provoking :)
brava nice job.
Great description of the Father who created us all! Superb expression of the concept!
All so true @};-
E` davvero un bellisimo lavoro Meli, e sento le parole cosvicine anche al mio modo di vedere il condividere le immagini :)
Quote:Creativity is a therapy for the self. So very true.Not only creative with the photo ,but redesigning it in 2D is so strong here.Nice work.Nice therapy!
Beautiful creative work!!! Excellent concept!!!
Excellent image, idea, textures, compo and color, but this is more beautiful for the wise lady behind the creation.
This is just too beautiful,Meli. Being creative is a gift from God our father,its being a little like Him,"The Creator". ...and this image you have created reminds me of God ("the hand") creating your creativity...Marvelous image. Hugs&Kisses :)
Gorgeousness!! :):)
WOWWWWWWWWWOOWWWW this is so cool thanks Melania for the emotion that always you bring in your image thanks my dear big kisses Orietta
Great art work, keep it up
One of the best things I love about your art is the amount of passion you put into it. This wan is fantastic!
Nn c'male ma ci sono ancora delle imperfezioni, soprattutto nella sfera: gibbosa e poco levigata. Ma supererai presto questi piccoli incovenienti.
Very expressive work. Somewhat different but very appealing.
I wonder what it takes to get as popular as you...im thinking of the number of comments. Maybe I just need to start making good stuff ;o) Anyway...As mentioned earlier, great colours. A helpful tip could be to "hide" the use of the patern a bit.
creativa ed originale. Forse per questo che sei popolare. oh.. ed essere bionda e bella certo aiuta..(nn mi strozzare!)
Evoluzione dotata di senso: in te tutto, ad ogni modo, resta precipuamente poesia.
So True!
Nicely Done!
