Sept. Abstract Challenge (1)

[PaintBoss]

Thank you Donna!

Okay I finished my abstract challenge. The light, opposite to the dark. I did it in Photo editing and will have it printed off using similar paper and same size. Then framed together. The original dark is charcoal and chalk pastel.

Or I may flip the one image.
What do y’all think? Which do you prefer?

 

[Donna T]

Dark and light; I really like what you’ve done here, Christine! I see shards of light and color, layers and depth. For some reason I like the second, flipped image. The lines form a mirror image shape where the two images meet. Very cool!

 

[PaintBoss]

Thanks, Donna I feel the same. It’s sort of completes the whole opposite idea and it visually seems to flow better.

Love this, Christine! It has such a nature feeling for me that can be interpreted in many ways: seasonal, leaves, grass, trees...I can go on. I just love that it gives me that feeling. Really beautiful dichotomy.

I prefer the flipped version of the negative image as well. There is a similar trick in music called inversion, probably most famously used by Bach in some of his compositions.

Thanks Arty and Hermes.
Inversion is a perfect word for this project!
Glad you like it. It’s been fun.
