Bronze Boy Makes Magic
Feb 4, 2024 09:02:12 #
In a local mall, a display of a Bronze Boy extending his magic over a fire hydrant was photo-tempting. As taken the mall background had nothing to do with the main magic sculpture.
Replacing the background with a clouded sky and the floor with a stronger color than concrete gray was a good start, but it lacked punch, excitement. The whites and grays were made yellow/orange with the flood tool. Blues were accented and contrast levels were manipulated using Topaz Clarity.
One of the more abstract forms was "Pop Art" with Dynamic Autopainting, DAP, 6 while abstract in coloration, it is not abstract in line and form as are veralisa296 unique creations.
In the future, I will play with the image in Lunapic online image magic and may extend and present the Bronze Boy image variation.
Your comments on the variations will be appreciated and if you wish to manipulate images and present your images, please proceed.

This is the kind of subject that an endless possibilities. If I had to pick one it would be #3. If I may suggest, use the tile floor from #1 and add it to #3. Give it more of a base for him to be standing on.

As you suggested NJFrank, give him a solid base to stand on. In keeping with the color scheme, I used the base from #2 for #3 to give image #4 below.

My taste and style would lean toward #4. It seems very Matisse-like, I just love the colors! This is also a mighty challenging subject! Good work, and I mean that sincerely.

I do like this one. A throwback to the 60’s.

Between Topaz more in control older than AI plugin, DAP, and Lunapic the world of image variegation is not endless, it is vast, to say the least.
Thank you for the compliment.

In the 1940-50s we were stiff like in WW2 so that god would be on our side. Then by the mid-1960s Nancy Sinatra said her "Boots Were Made for walkin' " Jobs were good, pay for beginning engineers hi, and plentiful. The 1960s were a good time... psychedelic posters were "in" and life was much more open. Separate beds for married couples in the movies were no longer required and miniskirts were the norm. Babies were no longer delivered by storks. Indeed I enjoyed my 1964 Mustang Convertible and a good life.

Joe some of the natural flowers you take are psychedelic as grown. Your work is beautiful.

I was perplexed by the original art. I guess the child is beckoning the water to pour out on a hot summer's day for city street play, but the force of the stream hitting him at that close range would surely not end well
The colors, textures and forms of this Psychedelic Efffect seem to fit the conjuring (correct term?) perfectly!

Perplexing, yes, why were these two sculptures paced together with no explanatory title? You stated, "force of the stream hitting him at that close range would surely not end well." Here I will pull up one of my favored sayings, "What does reality have to do with it." "Artistic License" opens the world to the impractical, non-realities... deviation from fact or form for artistic purposes.
The fire hydrant could be replaced by many different things... Linda, do you have a suggestion for the replacement? An alternate reality, perhaps the boy could be replaced by a dog marking his territory.
