How does Echium Pink Fountain #3 art make the viewer feel?

Posted on November 6, 2022

So here is image no 3. From my Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection, I’m working on the United Artspace 7 keys course,  the who does Echium Pink Fountain #3 make the viewer feel? this course is helping me to get my Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection ready to exhibit.  I have 7 chosen pieces of symmetry work out of over 100 pieces.  Now I need to answer some questions about each image and needed help with the “How does this image make the viewer feel” question. This is where my social media friends come in. I really appreciate all the feedback so far; your views really help me see my work from different eyes.

Echium Pink Fountain

This image is a real favourite of mine.  I spotted this magnificent plant in St Matthias church yard, Fiveways.  I didn’t have my pro camera with me, so I had to take photographs with my Android, Samsung S10.  This Echium Pink Fountain monster bloom was around 10 feet tall at a guess, they can get up to 14 feet!  They flower in their 2nd or even 3rd year of growth.  Its blossoms are a bee magnet.  I particularly love the Filaments (Stamen) in the centre of the flowers, they remind me of delicate pink cartoon spiders, crawling out the centre Ovary of the flowers.  Their Anther’s look like the spiders have tiny white slippers on.

Healing.

This Art is symbolic for me in a healing sense, I got married at St Matthias church, that marriage landed me homeless, abused and in refuge with 3 very young children.  The women’s Refuge Project, as it was called then; now known as R.I.S.E. helped me turn my life around. When I was in refuge, my bedroom walls were pink.  Pink is now my happy colour.

So, you see when I saw this enormous spike of delicate pink flowers in the very same church yard I got married in, it reminded how different and safe that life has become, and that wound has been healed.

Comments and feed back

So how does Echium Pink Fountain #1 #2 & #4  make the viewer feel? As before I would really appreciate your comments and feedback. I have also included one of the original images that I used to create Echium Pink Fountain #3 so you can get an idea of the process of the symmetry art I create.

 

 

How does Sea Holly art make you feel?

Posted on November 6, 2022

How does Sea Holly art make you feel?  As you may already know from previous United Artspace course posts.  I’m working on the 7 keys.  This course is helping me to get my Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection ready to exhibit.  I have 7 chosen pieces of symmetry work out of over 100 pieces.  Now I need to answer some questions.  For each image I need help with the “How does this image make the viewer feel” question. This is where my social media friends come in.

West Witterings beach, West Sussex

The first original photo for Sea Holly was taken at West Wittering’s beach, I’d happened upon this alien looking plant whilst investigating the beautiful sand dunes on the coastline.  I had never seen Sea Holly in my life before.  I was excited at the prospect of this becoming an intricate piece of art.   The spikey leaves becoming the totem.  Sea Holly; I feel has a real sci fi theme.  The green teasel flowers where nothing like I had ever seen, some of them where a purply blue colour, with that colour then traveling up the stems.  I found the colours delicate.  The green of the leaves reminds me of scenes from the Matrix.  The Wachowski Brothers use a green hue in their film footage.  When Neo, Trinity and the other characters are in the matrix.  There is a blue hue when they are in the ‘real’ world.

I particularly like the central crest in the Sea Holly#1 , this looks like an alien brain, or egg, surrounded by a protective white diamond, this brain or egg is fed into by the super information highway, which is made up by the horizontal display of green & yellow grasses in the middle of the image.  Nature’s way of communications, much like the mycelium networks all around us.  Vertically there is a splash of burnt orange.   Which is where part of the plant had some die back, this brought an awareness of death, dying being a part of life.

So how do the other Sea Holly #2 & #3  art make you feel?  Please do leave a comment below.  Or check out my social media, Instagram or. Facebook

How does this art make you feel?

 

UNITED ARTSPACE

I’m working on the UNITED ARTSPACE 7 keys course, this course is helping me to get my Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection ready to exhibit.  I have 7 chosen pieces of symmetry work out of over 100 pieces.  Now I need to answer some questions about each image.  1 question I need help with is the; “How does this art make you feel” question. This is where my FacebookInstagram  & my website followers come in.

Rings of Power Elvish Stained Glass window crest.

The first chosen piece is Tree Temple; the original photo image for Tree Temple was taken at Preston Park. I then created the abstract symmetry art in photoshop that you see now.

I loved the complexity of the branches, the many shades of green, the way the light caught the colours in the tree and surrounding foliage. This highlighting some of the leaves that looked a blue green colour.  These blue/ green leaves would create a stained-glass window effect in the centre, creating a crest.  A spiritual sign, much like an Elvish window or shield symbol in Rings of Power or Lord of the Rings.   Most of all I was inspired by the tree’s natural stance, leaning towards the available light, the same principles of photography, using light for exposure.  It fascinates me when tree’s reach like this, throwing its branches out to the side, like dreadlocks in the wind, finding the sunshine.

Please do leave comments below or on my Facebook or Instagram.

So how does this image make you feel? I would really appreciate anything that comes to mind. I’ve put some zoomed in sections of this image to look at, because to really appreciate the grandness of Tree Temple, you need to see it at its full size.

 

Wallpaper Psychedelic Voyager Art

Posted on August 25, 2022

 

Contrado, the power of POD, Print on demand.

The much awaited wallpaper from my Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection is now available in 4 different designs. Take a look in my new Contrado store here to find them.  It Certainly is very exciting to think that my art, on your walls; can actually be a thing.  With the help of POD, print on demand services, I have been able to create these wallpapers, with no initial outlay or cost.  This brilliant concept is great for new shop owners like myself, who have a very tight budget.  Also as a result or POD, there is no excess stock.  This makes it so much better for the environment; and its way more carbon friendly.  The item is simply printed or made, as and when you place your order.

Mid-century – 70’s retro room, or a statement wall?.

The Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection  wallpapers are not only Kitsch, but they are also mid-century and have a 70’s retro look.  Get your hands on these incredible interior design wallpapers; there are 4 designs available at the moment, more coming soon.  which could be used for hair salon’s, or a beauty boutique. They would be wonderful as festival décor.  I would be really delighted to see the wallpapers on backdrops, especially for live music events, like psytrance parties.  Perhaps the wallpaper could be used for an art installation; this would be really exciting to see.  Finally how about having an Avant-garde pub or club decorated with Psychedelic Voyager Art?  Maybe you just want a statement wall? The possibilities are vast.

Check my wallpaper here on Contrado.co.uk – Psychedelic Voyager
