Colourful blessings

This is my contribution to @everlove's Collaborative Art Journey..."REFLECTIONS OF A BLESSING" No. 23.

For this piece the inspiration came from the title of @everlove's picture-"REFLECTIONS OF A BLESSING", and thinking about the blessings I have in my own life. One of those blessings is my garden and the colourful array of plants that fills it. Most days I get to spend time there painting and drawing, and listening to the birds as I do so.

For this piece I took some of my ink drawings of plants and grasses and made a digital collage. I then combined this with @everlove's colourful image.

Soft grasses make my pillow

I close my eyes

The sun's light dances across my eyelids

A spectrum of colour

Flashes of light

Sort:  

Both if the pics are lovely
The colorful and the other one

But speaking about the blessing of ur garden and the colours in it
I'd love to add the blessing of seeing the colours, and how ppl who suffer colour blind deserve respect that they can take this world without seeing the beauty of some of it...

Nice post @opheliafu :)

An interesting thought @marwa

Your stuff has a lot of life to it. I'm impressed. Keep up the good work!!

There are your beautiful grasses again! : ) They have such a feeling of abundance with their robust seedheads! The overlay sure conveys the sense of depth and activity in a real garden! Happy gardening!

My garden is very busy, I like my plants to be layered- no bare earth!

A busy garden is a happy garden! That's a good slogan -- No Bare Earth! ; )

Good Job!!!

Thank you

@opheliafu the first time I see this design, it is very interesting you have.

Stunning piece. Visually so rich and stimulating. Resteemed.

Hiya, just a question here...have you ever considered selling rights to your work for say...book covers? I just love what you do and think some of it would make brilliant covers. I don't mean any offense, it's just that I think works of art should cover the written work of art. :)

Not something I had really considered. This is a collaborative piece though, so not something I could do with this, but maybe the original drawings.

Of course, but as you say, maybe the original drawings. :) I'm serious, it's not something for right now, but it's something to think about, because I would really love that to happen. If you ever decide it's something you want to do.

Very beautiful Collab! I live the way you mixed mediums!
