A Little Concentric Circle Artwork

I have been seeing a lot of concentric circle artwork lately in ad designs, paintings, webpage backgrounds, even on billboards down the street, and I have become quite intrigued with the style as an art form and it’s limitless use of color. I was playing around in photoshop and decided to try my hands at creating concentric circles and came up with this little art piece. My circles don’t perfectly line up and I didn’t have any particular color scheme in mind when I started this. I just made circles, colored them, layered them, and lined them up the best I could and all in all I like how this came out. I love how the colors play in this since I am a color freak. I think my limited photoshop skills really show here but I don’t care. I had fun, which is what artwork is all about.

I think the last part says a great deal…just have fun.
Now, the next step is to improve your product. This is like just playing a sport and winning a game or two. It becomes more fun.

I really don’t consider this 450X500 pixel gif image anything that could be called a “product” and I’m not sure how I could improve it as it was just something I did for fun. I do however see this as inspiration for a painting I would like to do someday. With a similar color scheme in this design done on a large canvas I think it would make a very striking art piece to hang in my bedroom or give as a housewarming gift to a friend.

I make faux stained glass pictures based on drawings that I produce using ms paint. When I refer to “improving your product” I am talking about the hundreds of problems that need to be solved as you go toward a finished product. If you were to render that design as a painting, there would be things that come up while you are painting that you would not have anticipated when you were playing with photoshop. ( I say that as a person who does not own a paintbrush. Real life painting could be very different from what I do)
At any rate, it is not the destination as much as the journey that is important. Enjoy what you do.
I just finished a picture. I should have a photograph of it up in the next day or so, at http://chamblee54.wordpress.com/
