INVITATION: Collaborative Art Journey..."REFLECTIONS OF A BLESSING" No. 23 -- This is your invitation to Collaborate! Whatever your expression, BRING IT ON!
We're On a Roll and I'm Feeling Ecstatically Blessed!!!
This is our 23rd Collaboration!
OUR COMMUNITY IS NOW
82 ARTISTS STRONG
and
WE HAVE ALREADY CREATED TOGETHER OVER
384+ INCREDIBLE WORKS OF ART!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Before we begin again, I'd like to make
A FEW INSPIRED REQUESTS:
I'm really excited about finding a way to share our creations at Steemfest2 in Lisbon.
- I am requesting that you share with me any brilliant ideas you have to help make that happen.
I'm considering making a slideshow as our images are already in digital format, and we could more easily highlight the hundreds of images we have in our repertoire. Printing them would be a bit less desirable as printing does not always do them justice and may cost a pretty penny--as we have (and will have) created a LOT of images by November, but I am still open to options to make it easy or in flow. Other ideas?
- We're considering making a powerful artistic impact at Steemfest and could use some helping hands. Are you or any artist you know going to Steemfest2 and want to be a part of making our presence known?
- Do you (or anyone you know) live in/near Lisbon? We will be greatly benefitted by having a local presence there to help with any logistics that may arise.
I'm sure there are some of you out there who have some expertise or knowledge about these things. Please leave me a comment if you can help in some way. I feel it is the prime time to show the bad-assery of this community we are building. The sooner we begin, the better. Please give me your input!

I love poetry too. Sounds like a challenge to tune into. Thanks.
Hey @everlove please found my work.
https://steemit.com/art/@motivator/reflections-of-a-blessing-my-collaborative-art-with-everlove
Wow! This is so different than any of the other works I have seen so far. Electrifying really! Would love to see your process of transformation @motivator. Truly a unique piece. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us.
I rotate your photo 90 degree in anti-clockwise direction.
After that I remove all the texture (tiny details.) I use only large scale lines and tones to reconstruct this effect.
When I think about blessing I find it should be spreading like electricity within my self. So I use this sharp elements to represent dynamisity of that action. You also found that they are more or less metric because I want to include reflection. At a same time I need to maintain the appearance so that it looks like editing of your original image, so I prefer that those dynamic lines goes from bottom to top and speed them self can be good element.
That's it. And I come up with this.
Hi @everlove,
This is my effort.
https://steemit.com/art/@artguy/everlove-collaborative-art-journey-reflection-of-a-blessing
A very interesting face in this image @artguy, and quite a lot to take in as whole. The colors are striking.
Thank you @everlove, for your kind words.
Truth!
I love what the creative force brings forth through you @yusaymon. What a great surprise to open and find this beautiful piece as your contribution. I love the abstractness and the solidity of it. Thank you for showing up to play with us.
