Artwork 1

Financial Resilience

By F McCullough

The photographic background was taken of a sky with rain threatening stratus clouds, against the deep blue aspect. The artwork’s surface was digitally texturized and placed on a canvas. The text ‘Financial Resilience’ was overlaid and styled in a bevelled way, cut from an additional turquoise sky photograph with white and grey clouds. The artwork is presented as a digital painting, to express the context of the nature of financial resilience, sometimes with clear blue skies and at other times, being overcast with grey rain clouds. Lead image in the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’ series.

Personal Finances

By F McCullough

The digital art, is colourful to inspire the future possibilities of well-planned ‘Personal Finances’. Chosen to illustrate the short-story ‘Personal Finance’ and exhibited in the Financial Resilience article. The background was taken from a colourful photograph of a deep purple and pink dahlia flower’s head, prior to opening, growing in the garden. “Personal Finances’ text was overlaid, styled and extracted from another photograph of a ‘Grand Orange’ dahlia to give the shades of orange. Both were then texturized to give a more muted vista. Presented as a digital painting with a part reflection below, indicating an undercurrent finance necessity. Created as part of the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’ series.

Artwork 3

Financial Security

By F McCullough

The symbolism of a beetle indicates perseverance, transformation, and adaptability, all qualities needed for a human’s life-cycles trials and tribulations, in the ultimate pursuit of ‘Financial Security’. The photograph was of a Cardinal Beetle (Pyrochroa serraticornis Pyrochroidae) feeding on the flowers of the umbrella-like heads of Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris) in a hedgerow, before it was digitally adapted. Converted to a cut-out style artwork, it was overlaid with the transparent text ‘Financial Security’ outlined in black. The digital artwork is presented into a 3-D wavy lined indistinct boundary frame, signifying the mysteries of the ups and downs of finances. Exhibited to illustrate the poem ‘Fortunes Rise And Fall’ and part of the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’.

Artwork 4

Financial Peace

By F McCullough

Exhibited to illustrate the song’s lyrics - ‘Winds Of Fortune Blow’, and created as part of the ‘Financial Resilience’ article. A heavily clouded sky photograph was ‘windblown’ into the background. The digital artwork of a water flowing river was used for the texture and background of the text “ Financial Peace’, which was then super-imposed onto the windblown sky, in a 3-D manner. Flowing water symbolises the continual nature of changing finance. Presented as a wall plaque, the frame’s shape contains both right-angle and rounded corners, indicating that wind bends the fortunes of attaining ‘Financial Peace’. The elements of nature, both wind and water were chosen with the intention of finding ‘peace’, ultimately for financial security. Plaque part of the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’.

Green Finance

By F McCullough

During a long walk, a photograph was taken in my local parkland, on a bright and sunny day. Adjacent to the path, the light danced with the shadows of the trees’ leaves, giving much contrast, and me much pleasure. This artwork was digitally created from the original photograph. This theme intends to reflect the heat and brightness of finance, set against the darker shadows and more sober financial challenges that may arise during one’s lifetime. It was titled ‘Green Finance’, because of its inherent colour shades of green, and thereby linking the context of ‘climate change’ and ‘green issues’, both being integral and essential in achieving the optimal outcome of ‘Financial Resilience’. The outer boundary of its frame represents the larger issue of climate change. The smaller complementary inner boundary, indicates the necessity for planet-wide carbon reduction achievements through ‘green’ projects. The ‘Green Finance’ digital painting forms part of the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’.

Saving

By F McCullough

This ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’ artwork was created with the financial resilience article’s ‘Thought of the Topic’ “Secure Your Dreams With The Discipline Of Saving” in mind. Growing for the last seven years in my garden the low growing Campanula Bellflower (Campanulaceae family) has gradually spread and flowered prolifically, being a true delight to view and enjoy. A photograph of the purple flowers were converted into a digital artwork and used as the backdrop for this visual image. Each flower represents what happens when you take care of each coin you own, rather than spending it thoughtlessly. A photograph of Large yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia punctata (Primulaceae Family)) growing by the roadside, was used for the colour’s shades and textures of the lettering for the text ‘Saving’, that was then texturized. The colour contrast between the Campanula and the Loosestrife signifies the benefits of compounding, where small actions when cumulated become beneficial, bringing a brighter future that is implied by the bright upright yellow flowers of Lysimachia punctata. The artwork is presented as a digital poster, to signify that ‘saving’ is a life-time, work-in-progress project.

Understanding The Basics

By F McCullough

Entitled ‘Understanding The Basics’, this digital collage was created from composite images with overlaid text. The artwork’s backdrop was extracted from a photograph of rose-purple flowers and leaves of a hibiscus shrub, which grows in my garden. It has now been converted into a 3-D impressionistic representation, using a computer-generated cutout method. The pink tones of the text was taken from the colour of the hibiscus flower and overlaid. As part of the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’ other similar images were created, and two of the versions have also been applied to the surface. The first ‘Financial Resilience’ image has been manipulated into a ‘badge-type’ button, to reflect that the page that it is exhibited on is a continuation of the article in this series, with the words of its subject matter circled around a centre. The abstract pyramid shaped insertion is derived from the kaleidoscope campanula purple colours of ‘Saving’ artwork from this artwork’s collection. The pyramid-shape embodies the learning journey of the basics of financial resilience at the base, to the summit of achievement of that desired outcome at the apex, with the route’s pathway indicated by the displayed pattern. Leading exhibit artwork for the ‘Financial Resilience Questions’ web page, so it is also part of the ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’.

Finance Facets

By F McCullough

A multi-faceted abstract digital creation, derived from the previous artwork in the Financial Resilience Artwork Collection - ‘Saving’. Manipulated into mirror-type reflections and shaped into a concertina contained within a magenta wavy frame. The repeating pattern radiates from the centre, which represents the concept of ‘Financial Resilience’ and the many questions surrounding the topic, including savings. The colour pallet has areas of brightness and darkness, implying the compound nature of finance, as well as indicating the numerous paths to attaining financial resilience. The colours were also vividly enhanced to give impact. The digital image, is another computer-generated formation in the series: - ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’.

Financial Learning Journey

By F McCullough

Financial Learning Journey’s painting, has been derived from the button-logo included in the ‘Understanding The Basics’ artwork, which is part of the collection. It has been tinted in gold, the ultimate monetary aim, of becoming knowledgeable about finance, as well as its many facets. It has been shaped into a pyramid structure broken in two, with a global world partly hiding in-between. The abstract artwork has been framed and is presented as a digital painting. The visual result represents the concepts of financial resilience, on the path to attaining financial security optimally, including its global aspect. This artwork is the concluding exhibit in the series ‘Financial Resilience Artwork Collection’. It is shown here, in order to highlight and describe the creative processes involved culminating in this artwork series.
