The Higher One

The Higher One

My collaboration with the brilliant Al Neaimi.
Al took my image, Tesselation 1, and worked his magic on it.
I am amazed at the results. This guy is a genius.
He has given me so many ideas about how I can develop this series further.

Stay tuned to see what he does with Tesselation 2!

And here is the original, pre-makeover…

The Higher One belongs to the following groups:

Yellow Gallery, Collaboral Damage, I ♥ Patterns, The Eyes Have It and The Patchwork Available for sale as

    Isn’t Al just awesome…? truly inspiring to me…in my new painting i’m trying to use some of the things i’ve learnt from how he developed this one… : D

    HOLY SH*T!!you two are a dangerously awesome team!wow wow wow.Breathtakingly beautiful,and that probably sounds so pretentious,but I really mean it.Wow!!And I think you two should get together and put this on a wall somewhere using real tiles some day :-))

  • Tania Donald replied

    my art never looked so good! every girl loves a make-over! thanks for the lovely comments matey!
    i’d love to see this on a real wall – what a great idea. it’d prolly be a great feature wall for a bathroom….: D

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    Holy mother!

  • Tania Donald replied

    is that a pleasantly impressed “holy mother”? or an ashen-faced Peter Cushing facing up against Dracula “Holy Mother”...? ; )

  • flower68

    flower68

    oh my wordy lordy yes!imagine sitting surrounded by scented bubbles in the clawfoot with a glass of champagne and strawberries(personally I like a bourbon and….. but anyway..)and looking at this as a real mosaic by candlelight..oh yes indeedy..:-))

  • Tania Donald replied

    oh god…sounds heavenly…. i had a fabulous bath this afternoon…it was so dreamy i fell asleep…your version sounds even better…. ; D

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    Don’t confuse me with options.

  • Tania Donald replied

    ok, well i’ll just tell myself it’s the former until i hear otherwise…how do you cope in a smorgasbord situation…? ; )

  • roybarry

    roybarry

    Tania, I do like the “made over” version but I have to say, from an originality point of view, I much prefer your image.

  • Tania Donald replied

    ah roy, you always know just what to say….thanks : D

  • amanda marx

    amanda marx

    beautiful collaboration Tania, the pre & post makeover works for me, can’t wait to see more of both. the whole collaboration thing is particularly inspiring for me . . . 1+1=17

  • Tania Donald replied

    a collaborative art project is something completely new for me- but i’m sold if this is any indication and what collaboration can be!you can learn so much from other people’s ideas…x :D

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    how do you cope in a smorgasbord situation…
    With my eyes closed.
    Hey! is it just my imagination, or…

  • Tania Donald replied

    hmm, is that Liv Tyler? actually i based the original drawing on a photo of the divine peggy moffitt (muse of 60s fashion icon Rudi Gernreich, and legendary model for the topless swimsuit)....but i don’t think it really looks like her…a bit of my own head snuck in there too – this is a common problem for artists. a friend of mine has a brother who paints, and all his faces look like his own. the problem is he only paints female nudes…..
    you can probably see that Al has changed the face by doing a kind of mirror image effect on it…maybe he was thinking about Liv….

    Gregoryno6

    And furthermore your beautiful hair sparkles, like I never even thought possible from an ocean of happiness. Man, I’d really like to smack dat ass.

  • Tania Donald replied

    thanks Greg, by the way, there’s something i’ve been meaning to say : Your tender curves stands out, with the same power as purest fragrance. My wife is going to be out of town next week, wanna party?

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    Oh, Tania, your beautiful skin doesn’t repulse me, surer than sticky indecency. If I hadn’t lost my package in ‘Nam, I’d be all about getting with you.

  • Tania Donald replied

    Dearest Greg, your gentle whisper entices, not unlike the sweetest chocolate. I’d like to cook you dinner.

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    Tania, Your brilliant wit stands out, more than golden kournikova. Would you respect me in the morning? Oh yeah, what if I have a slight dysfunction?

  • Tania Donald replied

    Greg, your creamy very existense gives me butterflies, like I never even thought possible from sticky slice of heaven. Here’s my number, if a woman answers, just hang up.

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    But Tania, darling, I have to say in all honesty that your amazing sense of humor brightens my day, and makes me think of precious fragrance. Could I interest you in a private photo session?

  • Tania Donald replied

    well, ok, greg, but there’s just one thing i need to ask you: Your beautiful presence sings to me, better than an ocean of satisfaction. Have you been tested lately?
