Autumn Delight Kaleidoscope Art

The Autumn Delight Kaleidoscope art series was inspired by one of the photos I used for my holiday themed posters and cards in my holiday greetings store at Zazzle and as posters at Imagekind. This series has a soft painterly texture and canvas feel. You can't really tell with the small preview, but if you click through and click again on an image at Imagekind, a large preview will open and that will give you a good idea.

This one is my favorite artwork of the series.

Harvest Day Impasto Kaleidoscope Art

I still have to add these and the next set to Zazzle for fun gifts especially those cool ties and cards for Father's Day, but they are all at Imagekind.  I'm making a few new sets of kaleidoscope artwork to celebrate my recent TBA at Zazzle for one of my Kaleidoscope ties. I didn't make a post for those but it was another series.  I've always been surprised by what is (and what isn't)  awarded a Today's Best Award.  In any case, it doesn't really matter since I'll design, paint, draw, or photograph what I want.  :-)

The Harvest Day Impasto Kaleidoscope Art is a series of geometric designs which were inspired by the colors on a photo of pumpkins resting against a leafless tree on a lawn I saw at Morguefile.  While the photo wasn't so amazing,  I really thought the color combination was great even though in the kaleidoscopes I didn't use the pumpkin orange. The impasto is the thick painterly texture added to these artworks. You really can see the texture in either preview, but it was added.

While I didn't get much of a response on Facebook after posting a couple kaleidoscope styled artworks in this series, I enjoy the glow that this work  and the other three below contain.

Ocean Waves - Turquoise and Sea Green Kaleidoscope or Geometric art

This morning I was inspired to design some kaleidoscope artwork using colors in a painting of ocean waves on the coast of california. Beautiful and powerful at the same time.

Here is my favorite Ocean Waves Kaleidoscope Art 8.

Here are three more of the nine kaleidoscopes in the sea green and turquoise geometric art series called "Ocean Waves"

Abstract Blue Petals Kaleidoscope Artwork Calidoscopio Petalos Azules

Here is the other artwork from yesterday that I decided to keep. Blue petals Kaleidoscope is what to me looks like a very abstract version of a blue daisy-like flower. I made the "petals" extra shiny.

Want an interesting tie for Father's Day? I'm sure it will at least be a conversation starter.

Here it is on a button.

Shiny Blue and Orange Kaleidoscope Artwork Calidoscopio Azul Brillante

Yesterday, I spent all day, and I  only made two works - here's one of them. It is funny how that happens. Sometimes you'll struggle to get anything at all and other days your only limitation is the speed of your computer or internet connection so when you laugh and wonder why I even bothered to post them, just think that I'm sharing the effort not the actual artwork. :-)

Orange Starfish Blue Ocean Kaleidoscope Art 1

Here's a view of this design on a tie at Zazzle.

I actually like how it looks as a keychain.

Brown Tan Gold Kaleidoscope ArtCalidoscopio de Colores Café Café Claro Beige y Dorado

These great vibrant kaleidoscope artworks were fun to make. They were inspired by the colors of rocks, soil, and the warmth of the sun. I hope you enjoy them too.

Here's our featured brown, tan, and gold kaleidoscope

Brown Tan Gold Kaleidoscope Art 11

I have plenty more in my Kaleidoscope gallery at imagekind and my kaleidoscope art gifts at Zazzle.

Here are three more favorites

Disfruto hacer estas obras tipo Calidoscopio. Fueron inspiradas de los colores de las piedras, la tierra, y el calor del sol.

Green Stripes Kaleidoscopes Geometric ArtArte Abstracto y Geometrico Tipo Calidoscopio de Lineas Verdes

In this post, I wanted to share my favorite green stripes kaleidoscope artworks.  I was inspired to make them by looking at some photos I took a few years ago and I really liked the colors on a shirt in one photo. After enhancing the contrast and a few other tricks I had a pattern to play with.

Green Stripes Kaleidoscope Art 5

This is one that especially appeals to me. I guess I just like the shape more. Perhaps you'll understand why by looking at it.

Here are three others I thought were nice.

En esta entrada quise compartir mi arte favorito calidoscopio de lineas verdes. Fueron inspirados por los colores de una camisa en una foto que tomé hace unos años.  Aumente el contraste y algunos detalles mas. Luego luego estaba jugando con las formas geométricas.

Mauve Kaleidoscope Geometric Art 1

Mauve Kaleidoscope Art 1

I took a recently made gray/black/white kaleidoscope artwork and selectively painted over parts of it.
For your viewing pleasure, here is the unpainted version.

They're both available in my Imagekind gallery. This artwork is slightly different from the others because I added a little graininess to the background. I imagined the art being part of a stone or concrete wall.
Which do you like more?

Red Petals Kaleidoscope 1 Artwork

Red Petals Kaleidoscope 1

This kaleidoscope is really a mix of different kaleidoscope images into one. It is mostly light red and gray with some green and black. I mention petals because the outer layer is petal like and the color used came from a red rose flower photo I had taken.

Gray Kaleidoscope Art 30

Gray Kaleidoscope Art 30

This gray or black and white kaleidoscope is one I keep going back to. I know kaleidoscope art should be colorful, but sometimes color is distracting when you want to focus on shapes and patterns.

Blue Kaleidoscope 10

This is one of my favorite blue kaleidoscopes from the while glowing points to the lines that look almost like chains in a circle.
