Photo Art Friday


Somehow, in my mind, I thought I wanted to make something bazaar ... wild and crazy!  But,  I never seemed to get there.  I would find something that satisfied me before I made it to the "wild and crazy".  So what I am posting here today is Abstract,  but much more subtle than I had planned.  Maybe next time :) (Click on them to get a better view)

I love these Andrea! They are just perfect. i am just working on mine, and just couldn't find what it was that I wanted. Yours are great!

OMG. Help me pick my jaw up off of the floor!!! Such incredible edits in such a variety of abstract styles! Impressive, Andrea. If I had to name preferences it would be #1, #4 and the last one.

That's so funny - you get to beautiful, so you never go on to wild and crazy. I think your last one sits on the border of incredibly beautiful and wild and crazy. :)

HI Andrea Firstly thanks for the answer to my question on your last post. Now these are superb. I love no 3, I think it is the inside of a flower perhaps a Tulip? of course I am in awe as to how you do all these. I do wish I had a few ore days in the week!!! I am back from the I.O.W.now and trying to get the posts made from that trip as I go back again in about 10 days and I don't think they will be all completed by then!! My friend Eileen and I when I was on the I.O.W. tried our hand at layering and added a texture to a photo. I would have to do this many more times before it became natural to me and just now I do not have the time.

HI Andrea I just came across this book on the web adn thought you might be interested in it.

Thank you Margaret ... I would be interested in it. I will look for it here and let you know if I find it. I wish I could sit down with you and work with you on the layering and texturing. You are so good at photography, I have no doubt that you have the artistic bent to make great photo art. Sometime when you have time ... just dabble. That is how I did it and still do it. It has to be fun if it is going to work.

ooh...I like the 1st, 3rd and last ones best, but they are all lovely.

Oh my gosh so many great abstracts here. How to pick a favorite....very hard. I really liked #1, 3 & 8 for different reasons. You did an awesome job with all of these.

Stewart M said...

I rather like number 3!

I am finally back home after a very (long!) flight! I am not in much of a state to make intelligent comment at present! Pictures from Arizona will start soon - and I will keep your tour guide offer in mind!

Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne

As you know, I am not a fan of abstract in any form. I like things as they are. However, these are all beautiful. Bill especially liked the poppy and fox glove, of course.

beautiful- I especially like the foxgloves and coneflowers

Kim Stevens said...

Holy cow these are awesome! Just when I thought I had a favorite, I scrolled to find another one. So hard to choose!

ormbunke said...

A really explosion of colors. I like it. Ha de gott i helgen.

NatureFootstep said...

o, how can I pick one of these? Well, I´ll go for no 3 and 7. :)

Miriam said...

How on earth can I choose? The cone flowers and the foxglove, amazing but the last one...Incredible. You have inspired me to try harder.

Okay, they're all wonderful. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the first two and then the cone flower. They ended up perfect. Love them. :)

So many artistic variations. Love them - I think the cornflowers are a favourite of mine.

Katarina said...

I love them all! Great, creative work! My favourite is the Foxglove - I would love to have that one hanging on my wall.

Andrea Dawn said...

A veritable smorgasbord, Andrea. I think # 3 is pretty wild and crazy and fun and happy. My favourite is #7 with #8 fast on its heels. Delightful visiting here today.

Sirpa said...

These all are so lovely and artistic!

So many fine abstracta pictures you have done here.

Awesome collection of abstract flowers. #4 is my favourite.

Currie Silver said...

oh Andrea!!! this is exquisite. it is like an entire dance of flowers with so much JOY in them!!! I love them all and especially I love seeing that you had FUN with them. that is really what it is all about, eh?! DOing it, playing, seeing what happens if and when... I could never choose a favourite BEcause as soon as I would call it a favourite I would find another that made me happy, too, and then... so generous of you to give so much of your fiddling to BE enJOYed!!
