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!"

Terry, ALL your art represents beauty to me, this one is beautiful too! Love the geometric shapes, deep rich colors, and variety of textures, great image, well done and nicely composed! :)

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.

This is a different kind of render of your wonderfully creative artwork, Terry!! Love the colors, and all they represent.

Artist Reply: Thank you Carliss! This was one of my"What If's?" experiments that I liked the results of. I am always looking for new materials, effects, and cobinations. Often they are around in or out of my house, as I'm too tired or busy to go out and about. Still, I find so much I can work with with computer art and photo manips to keep me busy forever.
