Description
de.par.ture \ n 1: the act of going away.__________
it happens to all of us at some point.
one way or another.
__________
tinkering with some new textural techniques.
working from a book by maxine masterfield called 'painting the spirit of nature'.
saw this piece by marti m. fenker in the book and thought i'd try my hand at her(?)
technique to recreate it.
also threw in a few of my own.

It's funny....I just 'got' this piece: I just noticed the very subtle lines
defining (very nicely, I must add) The Butterfly. If you look to your left,
you will see my Avatar ~ it took me several months, if not a complete
year to think up an Avatar; one deviant actually volunteered to make
one for me! It's a moth (I believe) that I found ~ dead ~ in Grand Marais,
Minnesota, and shot it 8 ways to Sunday...found a favorite take and
retouched it a bit and added a drop shadow. Then my mother died, in
2007, and I wanted to make a Thank You Card for those who gave or
came to her memorial...and this little moth became that card's cover.
It's title: Departure
Very interesting ~ wouldn't you agree? I'm glad yours is in my FAVES.
And CONGRATS on the DD....dick g

Hey, thanks for writing back.
Well, not to worry: Mom died exactly
5 months shy of her 99th birthday.
yes, maybe many of us are on the same
wave, or wavelenght....a nice thought.
Have a great day!! yeah, and we're both
into plastic wrap too. WOW!

This is the AWESOME I was referring to.
I play around with a lot of types of plastic ~
from Glad Wrap to much thicker stuff, just placed
over wet W/C ~ at various stages of wetness. Looks
like you rather bumped the Saturation up on this,
which does not hurt this one at all.Beautiful....

Wow, beautiful shapes and colours. They come together very harmonically.
Wondering why I've never seen this before....

beautiful color and texture, I like how the structure of the butterfly is only implied... it could easily pass as a abstract with no subject at all. I love the deckle edge at the bottom, adds to the drama of the movement.
