Description
Fireworks on the 4th of July --a long-time tradition. But who says they have to be in color? This image was shot in color, but I actually think it looks better in black and white -- much more dramatic! And if it wasn't for an FAA-sponsored "Black and White Challenge", it probably would have remained forever a color image. The image fits the description of "abstract art" and almost looks like a space capsule, atop a rocket trail of long white streamers, heading toward some faraway planet. Aside from changing this image from color to black and white, I also changed its orientation by 180 degrees to make it look like it was ascending into the darkness instead of coming down.

I wish we could edit to add to existing comments... but I wanted to add that it was the work of OTHER artists in the challenge that inspired me to try watercolor paint. I love seeing work of other artists in these challenges. So inspiring!

This is great David! And aren't these challenges awesome? For 9 years I painted using nothing but acrylics and then participated in my first Challenge here (the 100 day one!). Because of that challenge I discovered watercolor paint and I love them so much! NEVER would have tried them but for that challenge.
