Painting

Picture
One of my favourite things to do is to create an image from a concept or idea. Combining the raw materials to produce a piece of artwork. Photography is the most powerful tool at my disposal and I do love to create from it to take the image further. It feels like the painting process only faster and easier to undo undesirable outcomes. To start with a blank canvas and a head full of ideas is wonderful. Once that first stroke is made...

the creative process takes over. Often the original concept is refined many times before feeling completed. This image for instance started out as an exercise in masking using Topaz Labs ReMask. Topaz is my absolute favourite image editing tool and I highly recommend it.  http://www.topazlabs.com/ . 
The image ended up with a background change, a texture layer and quite a bit of adjustment. All this from a flower in my neighbours garden.

    I am a visual person. I find that surrounding myself in creation, feasting my eyes on what is before me and daydreaming a little is great refreshment for my soul. I also read avidly about trends, techniques and technicalities associated with visual art. When I can, I love assigning large chunks of time responding to what I see and crafting my own art. Here is a place to put that down.
