Sunrise

[kerravonsen]

I was listening to Grieg's "Peer Gynt" (as one does) and the "Morning Mood" section was so inspiring I just had to do a Sunrise.



Digital art on a fluid art base. With African savannah clipart. And gradients and stuff.

What a perfect mood! Stunning!

Wow, thank you!

[scaratch]

Sad Naarmamo is nearly over! I made this today...

[feng_shui_house]

Aww, sad person can't bear to watch the color fading from their day. *huggles*

[scaratch]

Aw, thank you! * Huggles back * :)

[kerravonsen]

Wow, how did you create this?

[scaratch]

I used Gimp. I used a stock photo image, converted to black and white. Added two layers above it. I filled the middle layer with a colourful radial gradient. The top layer filled with black and white radial gradient. Played with the opacity on both layers. And then applied a mask to the top layer and using various paintbrush shapes I painted out the black and white gradient to reveal the colourful layer and image below.

Thank you!

[vera_j]

This is so nostalgic - and beautiful.

[scaratch]

Aw, that's kind of you to say. Thank you :)

Alas, last night I discovered a clicking wall outlet- the one I use for the AC I've been relying on to cool my house (I keep most of the rooms shut)... luckily I was able to reach an electrician I trust last night and he says he can come on Tuesday.

So... today I've got a lot of stuff to do- haven't had anyone come to the house in 2 years so it needs a lot just to get up to 'Not Cavewoman' status. :^)

Re: Sketchpad Bull

[scaratch]

Oh, I don't envy you. It's horrible sorting through stuff that hasn't been sorted through in a long time!

Re: Sketchpad Bull

Well, I've started at least. Threw out one garbage bag full of stuff that *might have a use*, moved some things back where they belong, cleared off a table that was collecting stuff, have flattened half a dozen cardboard boxes for recycling in a few weeks (there's a WHOLE ROOM full- I mean 2 years worth of everything I had delivered- I had to move them to reach the AC in the other room that I haven't used in years it works, it's just one more room to cool), started clearing a path to the fuse box in the backyard (shoveling up 3 foot tall weeds to add to the compost pile-- I've been ignoring the back yard while I weeded the front which was ALMOST done), trimmed and folded four yards of fabric proofs & put them with the rest, tossed the old cardboard catnip scratchpad in the front yard (stray cat is loving it), gave my cat the new scratchpad...

Basically I'm circling inside /outside the house, carrying armloads to either toss or tidy. Had to take a brain break cuz I'm started to gibber. :^)
