A couple of weeks ago I posted the composite “Thinking Of…” on Social Media and someone asked me if I had painted it. While I had done work to make it look like a painting, I had not actually painted anything, but it got me thinking. What would it be like to paint in photoshop? […]

This is one I came up with when I was just messing around tonight. All the photos are mine except the red shack which was from stock. I tried to give it a very “painted look”.

I really kind of like how this turned out. I took this picture of an old house in Texas, South West of San Antonio several years ago. It got several textures and photoshop work and a final mood setting with Topaz Studio 2.

I think maybe Great-Great Grandma Marie had gone to bed early when I did this one. I’m sure she would have hit me with that pan quite a while ago. I sense I might have just done too much. I like it but I may try to revisit it and see if I can simplify
Week 3 is here! I don’t often do portraits for a number of reasons. I’m not very comfortable shooting them or getting people to pose for them. Also, I don’t seem to be as creative with a portrait as I am with other stuff. However this week I have ventured slightly outside my comfort zone

It seems the “Artist’s Way” exercises and some great jazz are having a good influence on me! I didn’t really have an idea of what to do when I sat down and started this one. I just sat down and put on Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue”, (probably the greatest jazz album ever made) and

I did this one today and don’t particularly care for the end product. I worked on it most of the afternoon and just couldn’t get what I wanted. This is something I am learning to live with. They don’t all turn out great and that’s ok. No one makes something fantastic every time. What matters

This started out as just playing around to see what would happen. I created this in about 2 hours last night and went to bed. I didn’t sleep very well and I woke up this morning and was in the shower thinking about this piece. You see, when I stopped working last night, it was
