Travel

Might be a bit of therapy here - I've tried to show my frustration about the recent journey we had to my daughter's home - y'know the stuff, an almost 4 hour flight delay for a 1 hour flight which then means missing your train then more delays because of engineering work on the track etc. etc. I can't understand why this kind of stuff is so exhausting when you spend the greatest part just sitting around! I took the photograph of the equally delayed passengers on the opposite side of the track at Gatwick waiting on the London train and used Ulla-May's tutorial https://www.annaaspnesdesigns.com/create-an-artsy-sketch-effect/

Where to begin? I started with the photograph and the tutorial then layered the train brushes above and below to reflect that things haven't always improved with time and technology! Behind is a selection of transfers and overlays from various APs, some on darken mode others on color, the great thing about Ulla-May's tutorial is by using color burn on the final image it allows this kind of layering. I had taken a photograph of my watch which I posted on my instagram when we were on the final stage of the journey (bus) so I extracted this, changed to darken and positioned on top of a transfer with a compass vibe. I was clear that I wanted a fairly chaotic feel to the page so have used Skinny lined overlays again to reflect movement and mood. The transfer from the top, I duplicated and transfered to the bottom of the page then used transform > perspective to create the colour on the tracks, again changed to Darken mode. Lastly added splatters for stars and a MM moon as well as a plane brush.

honestly..... I tried to get the perfect words to express how much I love this page....not sure I got it, because my heart is so full, no words can really translate, but I did try....

Fiona, this is an amazing piece of art! So beautifully executed and so evocative. An absolute stunner!
 
This definitely feels like therapy. The emotions are pouring out all over the place visually just as they must have been internally. Having been in this situation more times than I care to remember, I definitely relate. All I can say is...BRAVO! You nailed the feeling!
 
Oh my...this is amazing! I truly admire your ability to make art with so much direction. Love that you added your journaling too to explain easier to us (MUCH LESS ARTISTIC souls) where you started from. I never would have thought to produce it with the lines and energy, in combo with the colors. Love the page! (I just saw it on Gallery Standouts from June 30)
 
It looks fabulous. I thought it was an open train image with all the people on it. Really great work!!
