Textured Glass Gems

I know I do a lot of girly type art at times. So, just to show I can at least try to do some art for more macho crowd, I created a abstract that would work well in a place that was not so frilly. I used some of my gemstones, rocks, and minerals to begin this design, and used photo manipulations and digital painting, and effects to finish this piece. I used some emeralds, tigers eye, and some aquamarine stones to start it off. I added textures to make a more interesting look to it. I used Painter IX.5 and My Wacom tablet & stylus pen to create this work. I like the rich, yet earthy tones of warmth and cools in this piece, they remind me off earth, trees, sun, and sky. They out of doors of a forest on a fine Summer day.Please let me know if you like this one & why as it's a first for me to do of this kind. Thanks!

this is a great idea, terry. this one makes a nice abstract, definitely rugged and very tactile! i think you should pursue this and do more! it says "earth!"

i like your girly art... lol. this is a great image, Terry...

Artist Reply: LOL! Thank you Jimmie, and excuse the last e-mail. Up late and clicked wrong button. I like all sorts of art, but had a few students, boy, ask me for someting that would good in a guy's room. They are fans of design shows so I canme up with this one. One thought it would make a cool headboard panel piece. Have them designing their own work soon.
