Added 2022-10-08 19:21:18 +0000 UTC

The time has come, Legends! Prompt #3, BLOOM.

A huge congratulations to all the participants who submitted for the theme.

I have LOVED watching this group grow. If you go back to the previous submissions, even in just two months, you can see the thoughts, techniques, and intentions grow. Really beautiful work, legends.

And now, I present to you the submissions for Bloom!

@littlerockvision

For every crack that breaks me, light finds its way to trickle through those open spaces.

@francesonfilm

An accident. With a mixture of frustration and determination, I collapse to catch my thoughts and realize overthinking things gets me nowhere. Sometimes you just need bare skin and rich shadows.

@justano.therman

Every new day is a chance for us to grow as long as we walk into the light with open arms, open eyes, & an open mind.

@clearlykleary

Potential energy activated, releasing and relaxing into my own openness. I am blooming.

To me, Bloom means beginnings. I think a lot about death. It's monolithic, it renders everything around it utterly ridiculous. Death has defined several major points in my life. And each time, I had to start again. It's ironic, because the ultimate end has led to a new path.

I included the skull to incorporate the elements of death and the trees in the background to include the theme of something new. First time I've tried overlaying different pictures together. Looking at it now, it's a little busy, but I've learned something in making it.

A HUGE THANK YOU for your vulnerability and artistry.

Your voice and your vision of your self is a blessing.

Sharing yourself and your work helps change people's confidence in themselves.

Want to see what YOU can create?

The next prompt launched yesterday, October 7th!

If you'd like to participate, make sure you're signed up for the $5/month tier, THE SELF PORTRAIT CLUB.

Congratulations again, legends!
