*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:)
