Bazaar painting

I seem to be trapped in one of your dreams again, Pierre. I hope I can eventually find my way out. (nice place to visit, though.)

Dreamy it is Jack, my new Topaz simplify did it!

 

Thank you for your precious visit and original comment!

 

Cheers to that

Thank you for your attention, dear colleagues!

Bazarre or Bizarre?  ;-)  A little of both, but I really like it!  Colors are awesome, and it has a surreal look to it, which I suppose is what you were going for!  

Attractive colors and effect!

good work

Una delle cose belle che ci sono in te è che non si può mai prevedere "la prossima volta" cosa ci farai vedere. Si passa dallo stesso ritratto a colori o in B/W ad una scimmia con volto quasi umano dietro le sbarre ad uno scorcio pittorico di un paese! Io sono sempre curioso ed ammirato dai tuoi lavori! In questa stradina non c'è nessuno, viene da domandarsi,...dove è la gente? Dorme, è fuggita o sono tutti a una festa sulla piazza? Ognuno dà la risposta al suo inconscio!

Grazie Pierre.

Maurizio onirico!

Welcome and thank you, Christal!

 

Isn't everything I do bizarre? This picture is a simple watercolor and you've seen much more bizarre from me, ha!

Thank you again

Thank you, Tony!

 

I made 150 such pictures in two days with my newly obtained filter Topaz Simplify!

 

Cheers to that

Che poesia, che bella musica per le mie orecchie egocentrici! Caro Maurizio, si gioca quella musica così bene! Questa è una foto più vecchia una volta accuratamente elaborata che significe tutto pulito e ora ho usato un filtro chiamato Topaz simplify per renderlo come un dipinto ad acquerello! Ho fatto circa 150 tali immagini simili in due giorni!

Mille grazie per la tua poesia onirica!

Ciao Mau

ghost town boarded up...it made me think that sometimes we all need a little seclusion...nice work Pierre...regards....David

I like the effect and color Pierre. It reminds of a boarded up town in an old spaghetti western ala Eastwood. Interesting and original my friend.

Best,

Holger

Thank you, David!

 

This is masterpiece for me!

 

Cheers to that

Dear Holger,

 

Nobody saw the caption it seems to me, this is an old Turkish bazaar, why abandoned? I don't remember how it happened none present here, but I'm sure I had been waiting for the spectacle to clean up and then shoot! I am also good at deleting unnecessary details!

 

Thank you very much for your precious to me visit and positive comment!

A very nice creative result, Pierre!

 

Great effect here Pierre!!!  Really like it.   AJ

Pierre, Even though most times I like to see the perspective straightened up this still works for me. As others have said, a masterpiece. Rgds.

Hi Pierre,

  Wow...my creative friend, this is an amazing work of art ready for the gallery.  The colors are beautiful.  Thank you for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

Dear Pierre, due to the image title and awnings on the doors of the houses, we understand is a place of sale, bustle ... but it has much merit to get such a rare moment in a market. I like it a lot. The best for me, it's heaven, that it's like a wedge, making a gap between the houses. That is divine!.

 

About post-treatment, I have to choose between praise or constructive criticism and as a good friend of yours, I will make it as difficult and painful, and I'll venture to give a constructive review (just my personal opinion). But ... I rebuke you Pierre ... yes ...for maybe having neglecting personal own technique, because if you say you've made 150 in two days ... it can only be made by click on a button. I invite you to reflect on the following idea:

I imagine... Pierre in Paris, sitting in his office at his computer, working ... press a button and makes a picture with a xxx software, then press the button again and do another picture ... the program decides for him where shadows, lights, contrast, brightness etc will be placed. Robinson, is a man of the same age and concerns, lives in Manchester, and press the same button with the same software and makes a similar picture ... he likes it and then he produces another one.

 

My advice is... Pierre, though you like the effect, seeks to develop your own personal techniques, work is laborious, tedious, but eventually, no one will look like you, you'll be unique, like a great master. I'm talking about trying to create images that resemble paintings, and for all in general. No person in another place even if they own the same software can imitate your works. You will be authentic in making paintings or artistic (ie. watercolour) works. Judges in artistic contests quickly notice the use of software effects and reject works. I seldom liked effects just with help of a button, because they are not unique. Do you understand me? this is the bad side of being a friend and try to help with a different vision, but not the only one. Maybe you should not pay much attention to me. My option is: work and develop your own techniques, at the end, nearly nothing will be similar, it's the difficult way, but for me the only one possible. The watercolour effect is original, then there is... charcoal, thick line, thin line... what else?

 

Where will I see a similar effect?

 

I try to give a perspective to help you, just as I like that people would help me. What I like best is the tonality, it's superb and the perspective you've chosen for taking the photo, and someone talks about unreality, surreal... yes I totally agree.

 

It's a great work. I'm afraid I've chosen the difficult way :( I'm difficult myself, cheers to that!, like you say!

 

Kindest regards, con cariño, Laura.

Thank you, Ruud!

 

This time you used more words than I used for your latest, ha!

 

Cheers to that

 

PDE

Thank you, AJ!

 

I like it too!

 

PDE

Thank you, Patsy!

 

Good that you didn't say that only I could do something like that this time!

 

PDE

Laura, mi querida amiga,

 

You are right to some extent, only you omitted to think of a filter-lab which has thousands of options and that I have chosen this one, adjusted the parameters and clicked on the button and that I chose this spectacle, composed, took the shot, cleaned it up from wires, poles, air-conditioners, added clouds on the otherwise clean white sky etc!

I think that the final result is to be counted, not the hard work! And even if so, Picasso made his famous Les Demoiselles d'Avignon with less hard work than I used for many of my pictures! Besides, most of the highly rated and ranked photos on this site or in the history of the photography have been made by a single click or a series of clicks!

Should all the today's painters reinvent all colors and then paint or buy colors in the shop, ha!

 

Cheers to that!

 

Thank you for your hard work on your critique, I appreciate it!

 

Un abrazo fuerte

Dear Pierre, I think you're right. I've liked knowing that you did all these changes (wires, poles, air-conditioners ...) and of course it does matters a lot your choice of what to show and how to present it. Like I said in my previous comment: the sky seems to me "divine".

Continue surprising us because I really appreciate your work, I've always told you. By the way, Van Gogh was not highly rated or ranked, he died sick and forgotten, without being valued or appreciated. Being high ranked does not guarantee anything. All this... it's a good topic for discussion  :) maybe?

I hope my ideas have been of help. Your work is excellent.

The easy thing is to write a superfluous comment.

Cheers to that! Welcome Pierre! Abrazos, Laura.
