Photo Art Friday

Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photos gave us a gorgeous new texture last week and asked us to use it to make some digital art for the gallery this week.

I am taking a photo a day again and this year I am following Katrina Kenedys prompts which you can see here
Repetition was the prompt on day 3. I saw these lovely spires from the eight floor of the car park I was in and thought they would be perfect for Repetition but as usual I only had my phone on me. The results are so good, the spires were quite a distance away.

This is the original pictures from my phone

I put the texture over and at blend mode Lighten I saw this effect. I like the way it takes all the detail out just leaving the repeating shapes.

This is the version I would like to hang in the gallery this week though

Bristol spires

As always there will be some beautiful art hanging on the virtual walls of the gallery here

  1. great cityscape to start – I still can’t get over how good phone ant tablet cameras are now. I love both of your treatments. This texture seems to be really good for creating the blocked effect of your middle image

  2. The ‘Lighten’ effect is neat. Love the last image – the application of the texture and a ‘painterly’ texture is magical! Beautiful work, Miriam.

  3. oh, Miriam!! they are wonderful!!

    I love the story and the process and that you shared the things you especially loved. that’s the real gem in this sharing, hearing how making our art MOVES each of us!!

  4. You certainly live in a beautiful place in the world…..and the photo you used this week just begged to be ‘textured’! It came out quite lovely. Isn’t it amazing what happens when we play with these images?

  5. Awesome photo to start with and your edits are very nice. The first one is so different with just the building being highlighted by the texture.
    The last one is very intriguing and pretty. I think it’s my favorite.
