    Default Triptych Reflections

    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
    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:

    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 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.

    I love Dennis' first repost! The arches fit the scene well.

    No. You deserve most of the credit. Without your saying, "Tiffany," it never would've happened.

    Most of my time prior to retirement was spent developing engineering applications on a computer. Every once in a while -- probably especially during snow storms -- I thought there was no reason I couldn't be doing the work at home. I'd soon remember, however, that tidbits gleaned from even overheard conversations in the office, sometimes contributed substantially to the final result. Creativity shouldn't be attempted in a vacuum. That's one of the reasons this forum is so valuable.
