“The Green Vase” makes a second appearance in the Artel Gallery!

~~Updated~~

This time,  juror David Braly–the nationally recognized artist from Montgomery, AL–voted The Green Vase” in to the Twenty-fourth Annual Cinco Banderas Competition,–thank you David! It did not make its way in to the permanent collection; however, the second work I submitted was purchased! You can read about it in tomorrow’s post.

Previously, “The Green Vase” won Best of Show in  their edgy still-life competition, “Fruits, Vegetables and All Things Still.”

The opening for the show is tonight, October 26. I urge you to come view the show; the art is diverse and excellent. Hope to see you there!

Quick Study: Twins

The original painting is the second image down. It was a little dark and lifeless for my taste, so I rescued it in Photoshop with a combination of Selective Color, Curves and Black a& White. I don’t know if ethereal describes it . . .  spartan, maybe? No pun intended.

Below is the original. My husband loves it; I think it’s a tad drab.

Color manipulation pushed hard perks it up a bit.

"Twins," digital manipulation.

And then there’s always black and white.

I’m not sure if the b/w version works; the halo ends up carrying too much weight. If it’s lightened any more, the balance of the piece shifts entirely to the bottom.

When prepping the image for this post, I tried a number of photo manipulations. I’m not a big fan of simply running an image through a filter to make it look like a water-color, or such, but I just fell in love with the granularity of the black and white adjustments. The more drama the better.

Enjoy!
