After completing the Cosmic Creations No. 8 Contest theme "Inspired by Nature." I wanted to share with you another mixed media art project related to the theme. The theme for this project is "the tree that leans". It is true that trees tend to lean toward each other. Have you ever driven down a boulevard and the trees on either side of the street tilt toward the center thereby creating an arch? It's a lovely scene to watch as they form a canopy of shade in the middle of the street. I would like to believe that they support each other and crave company of like minds. Lovely thought.
I share below the final mixed media art in my series for the "Inspired by Nature" Prompt.
For my Inspired by Nature No. 9 project, this is the one of the rare times I have not included one of my pure fractals in the design. I opted instead to highlight images for (i) a free-sourced site, and (ii) three individuals that are members of the LMAC Community in which we design amazing collages utilizing images that we all contribute to the LMAC's image database, the #LIL. The images are below:
I also decided to utilize Deep Dream Generator, an amazing photo filtering program, as the site for producing a stable diffusion image. The reason is that this site recently added the stable diffusion text option for their members.
Below are the details of my steps:
