I had been working on making this triptych to use as an encaustic wax painting. It is a reflection on one of the lily ponds at Kanapaha Gardens. I used a slight Viveza to increase the colors just a bit. It reminds me a bit of a Tiffany stained glass window:S3:
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.
Cheryl, I am not sure how I feel about the horizontal dividers- they seem to be over powered? Let's see what others say. I love the scene it reminds me of a Monet!
Nice image and application, Cheryl.
I had the same thought at first, as Denise does. But given your intent, I think it is reasonable. It needs to adequately separate the sections and a narrower line would not do that adequately, in my opinion. But as we always like to say! Y ... I ... Y ... V !!! ; > )
Cheryl, I love this. I think if it were mine, I'd darken it slightly and add a little red. Something like this:
Maureen, I like your repost a lot!
I like the scene and your original interpretation of it. Triptych seemed like a good idea, but I wondered about vertical instead of horizontal. And you mentioned Tiffany. I'd intended to be asleep before now, but I couldn't wait to try it out... I should've spent more time getting the arches right, but I was yawning too much.
Wonderful Monet like composition, Cheryl. I can see where you are going with this... I do like the Maureen's repost as well as Dennis's interpretation.
Dennis, I like your version and the added simplify? filtering. I even see a blue heron in there:S3: Great ideas to work with!
It was Simplify. Sometime between shutting off the computer and falling asleep, I realized I could easily have added leading. After all, it's supposed to be stained glass. Did that with Snap Art.Quote:

Dennis, you are a wizard!
No. You deserve most of the credit. Without your saying, "Tiffany," it never would've happened.Quote:

Well done triptych, I like the original version and agree it looks like a stained glass window...nice work
Yes, stained glass all the way!
