Today’s Photo Friday entry is entitled: Photographic Art-2 © Jan Marshall
I was really glad when our latest Photo Friday assignment was to give us another shot at “Photographic Art”. I call this offering “Petrified Warhol”.
The original picture was of a petrified tree stump at the Florissant Fossil Beds in Florissant, Colorado. Taking a little bit of inspiration from Andy Warhol, I came up with this:
The colors are bit tamer than the ones Warhol used for his repetitive image silkscreens, but I like the overall effect. I think it looks more like a frozen waterfall than wood.
Please check out the other participants’ work!
I’ll add links more links if any more participants decide to play!
Next week’s challenge is a really good one! “It’s Life Imitating High Art”. We are to recreate an actual work of art in a photograph! Fun fun!

Fabulous! I love the repetition, the colours and the subject matter. yes, I could see this on a gallery wall – it wouldn’t be out of place.
Thanks! Perhaps someday I’ll look for a gallery to take my work!

Thank You for visiting Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument! Did you know that the National Park Service has a photo contest? Visit: http://www.nature.nps.gov/nnl/photocontest/index.cfm for more information and spread the word!
Thank You
Hey, Troy! Thanks for visiting, and for the link. I might just enter that contest one day! — Lou
i agree, it does look like a frozen waterfall.
Nice job! Looks like crystals to me……where was I on this field trip?
Stunning…
The different colors add such a gorgeous effect. I would so hang this in my room.
Cool. Thanks! — Lou
Jules – Not sure where you were. I went with Phil and the kids, and Whitney and the kid, on one of their visits out here. It was fun…and funny. Mitchell had to go (you know, the complicated kind of “go”) and so Whitney took him behind a tree and buried it!
Too bad you couldn’t have joined in on the hilarity of THAT moment! I’m game for another trip up there! Say when!!
