Photo Art Friday ... alas again. I so look forward to this, though I have to say I did struggle with this months prompt, Embrace. There are so many ways to use the term embrace, but only a few that lend themselves to illustration ... or maybe my imagination is taking a break. We are, after all, headed into the Holidays and that takes a toll on my brain. But here goes ...
My first is an abstract. I took a drawing of a male/female embrace from public domain and altered it ... depleted it and left myself with the lines that suggest the embrace. Then I added at least three of Bonnie's textures and used the mask/brush technique to bring out the figures. I can see it because I know it is there ... can you?
My second and last embrace was inspired by the birth of this child ... she is the first granddaughter of a dear friend and I was privileged to be able to see her very early in her life. The picture depicts the span of life, from birth to old ... it is the first embrace to the last ...
So good to be back on Photo Art Friday ... now my mind must start mulling over the new prompt for December. Hope you all have a fun Halloween and a generous and thoughtful Thanksgiving.
