The Choice - II

F.A. Moore

The Choice - II

Choice II is for those who love the light side of the spectrum. It takes on such a different feeling than the much darker original,

The Choice
Love should never be a choice. While man attempts to recreate his universe through science, emulating God; at the core, each of us struggles with daily choices that eclipse logic.

Are choices of the heart logical or divinely inspired, impetuous or practical, or do these rather define constraints of the mind? Should the heart always win over thought process, or does one inform the other?

By our divine nature, women have a choice, to follow our heart, head, will, or spirit. Wrong or right, we exercise it. I’m listening… listening to the dreams.

Digital Fine Art, influenced by the Romantic “Pre-Raphaelite” and Arts and Crafts styles. F.A. Moore, June 17, 2009.

    Love the color of her hair and both of their expressions. I also love your philosophy in life and the choices you must take.

  • F.A. Moore replied

    The model’s hair inspired this work. They are both the epitomy of beauty and self-possessed thought; but here represent so much more. Thank you for favoriting and for your remarks on my philosophy underlying the art.

    amazing

    Thank you so much Katarina!

  • A. JILL GAEBEL

    A. JILL GAEBEL

    Definitely a different effect than with the first one. Almost more purity to it, although the tone of the first really appeals to me. Both very nice!

  • F.A. Moore replied

    I like the dark a lot, too. But we are in the minority here. :D
    Thanks for viewing and commenting, Jill.

  • ToastedGhost

    ToastedGhost

    I normally fall for the dark but in this case the light wins
    beautiful

  • F.A. Moore replied

    ToastedGhost, thank you! I was surprised that the dark has not generate as much instant interest as this one. I very much appreciate your comparison and your comment!

  • ToastedGhost

    ToastedGhost

    This one breathes
    The colours and tones work excellently together

  • F.A. Moore replied

    ToastedGhost, I appreciate concrete comments, like this. I noticed the darker one did not look nearly the same from one of my computers to the next. (It was created on the older machine.) And I struggled to adjust its colors failing to ever achieve the effect for the newer, computer—the struggle is obviously apparent . Yet on this one, I had one aha moment and it worked immediately. Thanks again! I’m happy that you like The Choice – II.

  • * RoyAllenHunt *

    * RoyAllenHunt *

    This is a very beautiful image including the subjects. I love the layered effect. It gives it depth and texture yet remains so soft. I even like the placement of your signature. Well done all around.

  • F.A. Moore replied

    Hi, Roy, great to see you here and thanks for watchlisting me. Indeed this has a soft, lighter than air feel to it.

    You know on the signature, I’ve started placing it higher. It seems that with art products, where I normally put the signature might be in the unsafe bleed area. So, I now look for higher places to sign, and yet be at one with the piece. Thanks for commenting on that, Roy!

  • Jessica Jenney
