» IndexInspirational ArtAfter last month's cars and bikes, I feel we need a more gentle theme to provide some balance, so this month's Inspirational Art features just a small selection of the many great flower images created in Xara Xtreme.There has been some impressive recent flower posts in TalkGraphics including this striking thistle from Derek Cooper (aka Masque): http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=27469  and this clematis: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=27486  You can see Masque's clematis in greater detail and outline in TalkGraphics threads here: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=20789  and here: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=5078  These images brought to mind some of the great flowermeisters of recent years, in particular.... Bill Clegg (cleggart on TalkGraphics) who has two well known examples in the clipart gallery, Orchid and 2 Roses (in the Xara Xtreme Examples file, if you are running the trial click on 'getclipart' to download these examples). But he has also posted many other examples in the Xara Gallery which you may not have seen, including this beautiful lotus flower: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=11856  A different orchid: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=16076  And this: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=13046  And another very well known name, Ron Duke, shows he isn't just master of the cars & bikes, but can turn his skills to other gentler images (and this is a great demonstration of linked colors too): http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=23399  Couldn't miss out this image from gardener and Xara artist Ivan Louette: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=4895  And finally we can always rely on Risto Klint to bring his own very unique style to any subject: http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=15991  http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=14572  http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=7428  |
