twist

©2011 Michelle V. Alkerton

Submission to this week's IA Challenge - "old, new, borrowed, blue". 

"...twisting is ubiquitous as a metaphor for composition."
                                                                          Thom Donovan

This may be a stretch, but that's what makes it fun. The digital reference image is old, the abstract that resulted is new. The out of context quote above is borrowed and the colour palette is blue.
 
Stay inspired!

Enjoy the abstract, it has lots of interpretations, the colors just pull the viewer in, like a river of turbulent waters. Happy New Year!
