Scimitar
Glass Motivational Artwork by Omashte
Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. ~Lao Tzu
I see a scimitar worn by a rainbow warrior. This warrior was undefeated in battle and fierce to be seen. Blood is ingrained into the steel and drips as it dries. Many souls gave their essence back to the universe as the blade came down.
Resting now and waiting for duty once again this sword is regal as it is powerful. Its owner caring for and protecting loved ones and comrades.
This painting started as a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object.
In this particular photograph I have gone in by hand and painted over the original image. Adding my own textures and visions to the shapes and colors I started with.
I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only recently that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.
