I love the tangled chaos of texture and colour in this section of a local woods. I often shoot the same area, but I think this time of year offers the best set of colours.
I’ve amplified the sharpness, overlayed a flipped second section over the top and generally messed with the colours. I unintentionally ended up with something that kinda resembles an organic Klimt.
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 - February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil (see Mulher sentada, below).
Klimt was born in Baumgarten, near Vienna, the second of seven children, three boys and four girls. All three sons displayed artistic talent early on. His father, Ernst Klimt, formerly from Bohemia, was a gold engraver. Ernst married Anna Klimt (nee Finster), whose unrealized ambition was to be a musical performer. Klimt lived in poverty for most of his childhood, as work was scarce and the economy difficult for immigrants.
Now that November is here, I am enjoying the autumn colors so much, finding it very hard to let them go as they inevitably must fade into winter's grip.
"Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for its grand finale." ~ Lauren DeStefano
and a little graphic style...
I've been studying a lot of Klimt's work lately this is wildly different for me and it was a lot of fun to create.. and I remembered how much I love to play !
GALAXY
Thy screaming heart is infused with the darkness of the galaxy; were light cannot be seen by the naked eye but can only be sensed by the darken flames in the other hearts. They are a few with very faint light that shines like a star so small yet so bright that can shine through any darkness and still sense through the darken flames of my heart. There are those that try to bring light into mine but my darkvben heart rejects it and casts it out. It is tolled that there is a light that shines above all that wants to bring my heart into happiness and warmth. If it does happen we will build a new sun that shines into every darken heart and extinguish the darken flames thatKx is found and that happiness of shall brighten thy galaxy.

The beautiful granny next to the painting illustrates quite well its dimensions (178 by 198 centimeters).
"On 15 November 2022 members of climate protest group Letzte Generation Österreich (Last Generation Austria) threw a black oily liquid onto the painting's protective glass, protesting "oil and gas drilling ... a death sentence to society"; one glued [him]self to the glass. The painting underneath remained undamaged." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_Life
"Hans-Peter Wipplinger, the director of the Leopold Museum, told APA that the concerns of the climate activists were justified, “but attacking works of art is definitely the wrong way to implement the targeted goal of preventing the predicted climate collapse.”
He appealed to the group to find other ways to make their concerns known.
Austria’s culture minister also expressed understanding for “the concerns and also the desperation” of the activists, but criticized their form of protest.
“I do not believe that actions like these are purposeful, because the question arises whether they do not rather lead to more lack of understanding than to more awareness of the climate catastrophe,” Andrea Mayer said.
“From my point of view, accepting the risk of irrevocable damage to works of art is the wrong way to go,” the minister added. “Art and culture are allies in the fight against climate catastrophe, not adversaries.”" apnews.com/article/europe-business-painting-austria-cebdb...

I purloined three branches of forsythia while out for a walk. The buds were closed but opened quickly in the warmth of my kitchen. I was afraid they would be finished before the sun found this corner again so I flashed it with my phone, turned out kind of weird but also kind of cool :)
