I transformed my flower photograph into this digital art piece using a digital alcohol ink technique. It's a snapshot of calm moments - red poppies by a still lake, all under a sunset sky burning with evening's last light. This artwork exudes a quiet elegance, perfect for adding a serene touch to any space.
One of the things that I miss about Milwaukee is the sight and sounds of motorcycles (not just Harleys!). Using my camera, I caught the vibe of Milwaukee's streets and their symphony of bikes at a street festival. I gave my photograph a digital touch-up to really make it pop.
I captured the autumn magic with my camera while at Abbott Lake on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and gave it a digital paint job, keeping all those true-to-life hues and light. This piece could be a natural fit anywhere, adding a splash of fall’s best to homes, offices, or cozy inns.
I had fun experimenting with digital brushes, crafting this scene from pure imagination as dusk crept in - no photograph as a base image, no AI. The pink flowers stand out in the dimming glow, soaking up every last bit of daylight. It's one of my initial forays into digital painting, and it's really sparked my creative spirit.
It has been a while since I have done an #introduction so here goes! I'm a photographer, through and through. I am most alive when I have a camera in my hand.
Most of what I share here are my photographs. I'll also be sharing art that I create digitally, using my own photographs as the base. I've been digitally painting and transforming my photographs so that they're new creations, made by me (no AI).
Most recently, I've given acrylic (abstract) painting another try (I haven't painted since my teen years). If my paintings are not good enough to share here (from my judgment), I know I'll be able to use digital painting to complete my vision where my paintbrush leaves off.
Introducing a new piece of art in my gallery! "Sunset Over the Water" was created by digitally painting my own best-selling photograph, "Solitude at Sunset."
