The Essence of Creation

I’ve recently discovered this on You Tube:

https://youtu.be/qx0qkoOd-fE

Twenty-four hours of incredible relaxing music. Just the thing to let everything wash away. I was listening to this in the background, whilst dabbling in a little digital abstract making. I listened. I blended. I layered. I created. I relaxed.

I’ve named this abstract ‘The Essence of Creation’. The name came to me as I painted. It has both a fiery warmth and an underwater feel to it, I find. Apart from that, it is merely, in essence, an abstract… deep, shallow, meaningless or full of meaning only in the eyes of the beholder.

      Oh yes! The music moved me, Beverly! I have actually used the music to help me to fall asleep as well, it must just know what is needed! It’s magic music!

      I’ve noticed that, Raili. It must be to do with the layers… 🙂

      It’s the relaxing vibes the image is transmitting from the magic music, Frank. Or maybe… I’m hypnotising you… 😉

          I nearly fell asleep there and missed this, Frank… sorry about that, but you’d been catapulted into my spam folder for some reason! Luckily, I fought off all kinds of nasties and retrieved you.
          Frank?
          Frank??
          Ooh, sorry. And click you’re wide awake! 😀

    Sorry I’m SO late in getting to this post … I’m days and days behind my ‘Reader’ and trying to catch up.

    I see a beautiful array of colours – blues, purples, yellows, greens, oranges – and more …. – all blended so that they naturally flow into one another.

    In the foreground I see falling ‘lights’ (but not lights per se) – perhaps the magic of the creation(?) falling to earth(?) – and . . . I see orbs.
    The orbs could be the souls of those coming to earth … or leaving the earth. Perhaps they are the passing on of knowledge to that falling ‘magic lights’ – or maybe the falling magic is passing knowledge to the orbs.

    Coo … I need more thinking time with this one. Were it in a gallery, I would hope for a bench seat to be put somewhere far enough away to see the image – but close enough… but not so close that I didn’t get the feeling of what the whole thing was saying to me.

    Nice work Tom. ~ Cobs. x

      Ooh! Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Cobs, and the thoughts the creation gave you. And yes, those orbs are the magic of creation – actually they are stylized sparks – those triggers of inspiration we all get from time to time. I just went with this one!
      Another thing I’ve noticed, which I didn’t when I created it, is that the coloured background bit – it’s semi-transparent! I love special effects me, Cobs, but ones I create without meaning to are even better!

    Looks interesting Tom! 🙂

    I usually listen to the radio until I feel tired, turn it off and sleep like a baby! 🙂

    God Bless!
