Another beauty, Barbara.... very interesting reading as well. I will have to keep my eyes open for some sea glass when it gets warm enough to go to the beach. vf

Barbara McMahon replied:

Thank you Barbara for your generous comment. Best time is to wait until have a good storm (stay safe). Also when the ice retreats it often leaves some behind. Hope you find some!

Thank you so, so much Cheryl! It is simple but definitely hard to shoot. I was shooting outdoors with natural lighting and used no software to process. It is so worth the effort, especially when people recognize that "Simple is Hard". Many thanks for your support!

Barbara, I enjoyed your beautiful minimalist photo here as well as William's entertaining comment, and I agree with him. I'll quote another FAA artist, Ross Odom, who commented once in the Minimalism Group discussion, "Simple is hard." I will add to that that, elegantly simple is extremely hard. This is incredibly, elegantly, simple . . . and quite beautiful. voted

Hermann, MO - United States

When an artist does something that is so simple and elegant it drives other artists into a state of envy and too often the response is "I can do that!" And so you can. What sets the image apart and what you didn't do is think of it. Here Barbara has put one out there that will elicit those envious cries but remember; she did it. She thought of it. She executed it. You didn't, so shut up. voted, favorite, promoted as Daily Favorite in CFC group

Barbara McMahon replied:

Wow! Thank you so much William! What a wonderful review you have given me and my photographic effort! I appreciate it very much! Message me if you'd like to know, if you haven't figured it out already, how this shot was set up. Thanks again for your support?

Description:

Upon building this little structure of seaglass I felt the harmonious effect had a very peaceful appearance as it all blended and melted into one sculpture. To me it represents a sort of "Peace" as manmade objects, made from natural substances returned to the sea, only to be found by man once again, to be enjoyed and admired.

The most common colors of sea glass are kelly green, brown, white(clear), and purple(clear). These colors come from bottles used by companies that sell beer, juices, and soft drinks. The clear or white glass comes from clear plates and glasses, windshields, windows, and assorted other sources.

Less common colors include jade, amber (from bottles for whiskey, medicine, spirits, and early bleach bottles), golden amber or amberina (mostly used for spirit bottles), lime green (from soda bottles during the 1960s), forest green, and ice- or soft blue (from soda bottles, medicine bottles, ink bottles, and fruit jars from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, windows, and windshields). These colors are found about once for every 25 to 100 pieces of sea glass found.

Uncommon colors of sea glass include a type of green, which comes primarily from early to mid-1900s Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, and RC Cola bottles as well as beer bottles. Soft green colors could come from bottles that were used for ink, fruit, and baking soda. These colors are found once in every 50 to 100 pieces.[

Purple sea glass is very uncommon, as is citron, opaque white (from milk glass), cobalt and cornflower blue (from early Milk of Magnesia bottles, poison bottles, artwork, and Bromo-Seltzer and Vicks VapoRub containers), and aqua (from Ball Mason jars and 19th century glass bottles). These colors are found once for every 200 to 1,000 pieces found.

Thank you for viewing. Barbara McMahon
