Good day, Steemians! Dia bom, Steemians!
Did you see the latest SteemFest² update from His Steemajesty @roelandp?
SteemFest² Updates - New Names Announced - Announcing Pop Up exposition: Art At SteemFest
Our considerate MC is making progress on this awesome fest for our community & platform, and most exciting (imho) is that
There's going to be an art space at SteemFest², and YOU are invited to submit a piece for display!!!
At the base of Ponte de 25 Abril, on former textile factory grounds, nowadays called LX Factory will host a Pop Up Art Gallery with the exposition: 'Art at SteemFest' for the complete duration of the event from 1 to 5 november! Very close to where the SteemFest Blockchain Hackathon will take place!
The owners of LX Factory came up with this place and together with help of @everlove, @paolobeneforti, @skapaneas, @opheliafu, @toonpunk, @voronoi,@prc, @kolatz, @silviabeneforti, and @timsaid this will become a nice creative hub, especially during the DIY Citytrip Weekender. The gallery will be open to the public and mainly visited by Steemians during the 4/5 november DIY Citytrip Weekender ofcourse as on 2/3 November people are 'somewhat' busy with the main conference.
Pretty cool, huh??
Art is awesome; it is pure freedom and expression. I love to see imaginations shine forth through various mediums, and I'm really excited to see what our talented community presents for a gallery. Multiple layers unfold when artists combine their talents and unique perspectives, creating a brand new entity through the collective! It is an opportunity for pure play, and I LOVE to play!!!
We have so many incredible artists here on Steemit! For just a few examples, check out @everlove's long running Collaborative Art Journey, in which she invites creators to come together to share their inspirations, scope @timsaid's MyPictureDay challenge, or take a look at @quinneaker's entire life. It makes me so curious to know what will we make when we unite in person?!?!
@roelandp extends the invitation for any & all Steemians to submit a piece to display in the artist's space!
Here's how to do that, according to his latest update:
- Supply your work of art (drawing / painting / photograph) which you want to have at display on SteemFest.
- 1 work per user, so pick your personal best / favorite.
- Supply a HIGH RESOLUTION (printable, so really high resolution (1024 pixels wont work, lets go for 4000 pixels minimum) version of your work and your Steem username, the title of your work, year of creation, and country of residence via this form.
- Submitting won't guarantee your work will be displayed at SteemFest
- By submitting your work you give us, organisation of SteemFest the right to reproduce your work whether digitally or in print for the purpose of displaying it at SteemFest 2017. You retain all rights of course.
As I say, I 💛 Art and would love to play in this space - but we only get 1 submission!!!
I request your opinion, friends - which piece should I submit for potential display at SteemFest²?
Next to my very favorite medium yoga, photography is one of my top creative outlets, but I also like to draw and paint. Which one of these creations do you like the best?
ink & salt on silk...alas, this is not high resolution and the painting has been gifted away.
Canon 550D
from one of my favorite cameras I've ever had, the classic iPhone 4.
pencil & sharpie on paper
Canon 550D
What do you think - should I submit one of these? Dig a little deeper in the archives? Make something totally new for SteemFest²??
We have only a few weeks until meeting again in Lisbon!! Do you have your tickets? Transportation? Accommodations?
There are a lot of organizers, facilitators, and generous donors making this event possible for all of us, so a big THANK YOU to these & many more folks behind the scenes:
@abit @arhag @blocktrades @pharesim @riverhead @smooth @wackou @joseph @theprophet0 @richardcrill @blueorgy @benjojo @steemfestdreams @aggroed @knozaki2015 @ausbitbank @stellabelle @cervantes @firepower @quinneaker
💛 Sara!
Because of your post, I think I just realized what @everlove was telling me in her last note! Thanks a lot for sharing all of these news, to me, and updates on the famous SteemFest2.
To respond to your question, I'd have to go with the picture you took using your "classic iPhone 4", that is a beauty and, framed in such a manner as this could be portrayed nice &wide, it would make a huge impression on the viewers, as long as the colours come out right.
Thanks for the occasion to share on this idea. I will absolutely have to send one piece for the crew out there. Thanks a lot, keep on thriving, smiling and Steeming.
Namaste :)

Great, I'm very glad to be of service! There are lots of exciting developments, and only a few weeks left to go until SteemFest², and I think the more people are aware and hyped about it, the better.
Happy to hear you got your submission in! Will you be with us in Lisbon this year?
Thanks for your vote on my art! I particularly like that piece for many reasons. It is taken in a building that is nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance" in Detroit, and I actually used it for my first ever Steemit post!! It feels relevant to share with the community again.
Blessings, @eric-boucher!

Cool @saramiller! I' so glad to read that it was your first picture ever shared with us, I might have actually upvoted that one, just because it is so attractive a shot as well as to welcome you along on the Steemit Train.
The flight cost, around $800.00 return is really prohibitive for me right now as I have never been so poor in my life. So, I will have to pass for naother year and wait till the time is ripe, probably next year's SteemFest will be the one... We shall see, inshallah.
Thanks for the info on the Cathedral of Finance and the kind warm words shared. Namaste :)

I hoped so... I thought the colours and the salutations to you all was worth the sharing, if not simply for the inherent inspirations the picture might bring to one's soul.
Namaste :) (((HUG)))

I think the silk!! I feel it light hearted, fresh and alive. A really feel good piece! The other are also awesome of course, just like you!!! Glad we're going to Steemfest2 together with @quinneaker. Oh what an amazing journey it will be.
Thanks for sharing a bit of Sara through you lens. Grateful to witness you.

Thanks for your vote, @ace108! I really enjoy that one as well. I very much like linear & geometric designs, bold colors, and repeating patterns as well as architecture.

I think if you play with the shadows of the Canon 550D shot, it would add depth to the succulent and make the water drops pop. I always like creating new work, but I also like going back and stomping all over what I did. Sometimes the results are spectacular, sometimes unimpressive, but I am never sorry that I went through the creative process.
I upvoted, followed and am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you for your support, @lucidlight! I think that image looks like nature's mandala :)
I agree that editing can be one of the most enjoyable parts of photography. You can get countless new creations out of a single image! It's amazing what a few tweaks can do for the feel and impression of a piece. Oh, hooray for ART unlimited!!!!

I could put that photograph on the ceiling of my Room and watch it as the sky, on the wallpaper of all the devices that I may have. The blur on the sides makes it magical, the center is like the door to something heavenly as what I would like to achieve after so many grievances, the photo is unique and incredible. and Yes I'm going to try to make an Art for SteemFest I'm very excited about it although the nerves are already on my brain causing me fear ^-^

I love the one made on silk, it's so tender, and the colors are flowing to each other like as if it was a space view!:)

Thank you for your vote & thoughtful comment, @inber! I love that one as well. Tender and flowing are great word to describe painting on silks - it is very delicate and sweet and gentle. I really love how the ink soaks into and spreads on silk and blossoms into something new! It's much more inspiring than paper, I think.

Definitely the first and the last one. The first one because of the abstract style and the last one because it is very hard to achieve this picture, you have to be very skilled to do it! I don´t paint but I do take pics and I don´t know how to do this haha
