Amalgamations in Art on Creative Arts Three Day Weekend
Amalgamation is the process of combining multiple entities into one form . Compositions created with form, color, other properties exist in many art forms. They include procedural functions, directed randomness, deliberate design, abstraction, photorealism, sculpture and painting.
These are images I created this week by combining multiple images and edits.

A Walk in the Moonlight ~ the moon, the path and woods, the man and dog are separate images amalgamated into one.

Good evening.
cool images. I love buffets ...
Those are very special pictures.
Absolutely love the "a walk with the moonlight"...
Thank you so much for the picture of Kavika and his wife Red. I so truly miss him. We were friends for so many years. He was not only a dear friend, but, a great story teller, and a great representative of the Native Americans.
May the Creator guide him as he continues his own spiritual path.
the gray wolf watches from the trees ...
Indeed. His life here on earth will not soon be forgotten by so many.

that's a keeper, amac.
Arvo Mac...for a minute there I thought it was a kelp forest..then I realised it was above the water...
We have kelp forest's along the coast line where I live and pieces often get washed up on shore...
Wwweeeellll he was lucky his leg washed up...could have been a body... unfortunately they couldn't reattach his leg..but he said he will be hitting the waves again...
Gotta look on the bright side of life..😁
I spent some time on youtube watching oz surfers and sharks yesterday. I wouldn't go into the water above my knees there ...
Morning...geez you're no fun..
Ummm good luck with standing in knee deep water..the Irukandji jellyfish will get ya instead...or a blue ringed octopus or a stone fish or a etc etc...
yikes, it sounds like I'm too old to visit your sandbar ...
Never to old..
Our snappies, bities and stingies like a bit of mature carcass every now and then..😁
too much gristle in me to be seashore sushi ...
Not a problem..when you are sliced and diced you will go down perfectly well...
We breed em tough here..😁
The weather has finally turned a little warmer along the great lakes, so beauty and color begin to arrive in the flower beds - making this old man very happy.
Very pretty.
Morning.. gorgeous flowers Robert...
Do you know the name of them?
It is a Hollyhock and it is a favorite of mine
We have hollyhocks here as well but look an entirely different flower..
They grow on spikes a bit like gladiolas... hollyhocks were one of my English grandfather's favourites as well and he grew them all the time..
Not my photo unfortunately...
That's what I've always thought of as a hollyhock, too.
Speaking of gladiolas, mine are multiplying, but they keep forgetting to bloom.
Morning..hmm could be over crowding, pests, soil or fertilizer...
Best to google it and have a squiz for your area..
They aren't crowded, and bugs don't seem to be eating them. But the soil could be better. I'm on the side of a mountain, and there's just a thin layer of topsoil before we hit rock, so soil quantity and quality aren't great.
They bloom some years, and don't others. I haven't been able to figure out the difference.
Maybe try putting some in pots and see what happens...
Sounds like you have a very nice location where you live...
The flower is very tall as you picture and there are going to be flowers up and down the stock - only recently planted.
So it may end up looking more like this than it does now
I simply took a picture of the beautiful blossom
Four separate images went into my idea for an "outdoor/fishing" magazine cover.

I always thought that field and stream was the instructions for camping without the convenience of toilet facilities ...
This is the first time I have been unable to open an image you posted - did you do somehting different this time?
Not that I'm aware of; will post again tomorrow.
Not sure if this helps you Buzz.
Got it, man holding fish, dog in distance, birds flying above. Thank you.
Man Walking Dogs, Arles (© G. Gam)
is that in france or italy?
Arles is in France, where I will be going again Monday for a couple of weeks. We won't be going to Arles on this trip, though.
It is difficult to tell from that photo, but there is part of the Roman arena in Arles in the background, built in 90 A.D.
have a fun, safe and relaxing journey ...
Safe travels G and enjoy it all..
Will do!
Thank you, shona.
Be safe. Have fun. Take lots of pictures.
That's the plan. Thanks. It's our first trip anywhere since before Covid.
you won't be that far from the french riviera beaches. ... rent a car, don't forget the telephoto lens. thanks ...
We were there for part of our last trip when we stayed in Nice for a few days. We're not going to be close this time.
dammit. I'm trying to relive a half naked french girl on the beach incident from my youth ...
Lecher.
In your dreams...
Saying good night. Safe trip to G & thanks to all.
