Lutus Child

OK Kyla, here's a post. This is a photo of a public sculpture here in Olympia. I played with it a bit in Paint Shop. Enjoy!

Five dancers

This one started life as a drawing. Ink on hemp paper 11x19. After i scanned it into my computer i played with it a little bit in Paint Shop. I daresay i rather like the results :-) There's a pretty good chance this will become an oil painting.

oil on canvas 11X14 this one is based on a drawing i made during my figure drawing class at Evergreen. I purposefully exaggerated parts of the figure because i love the rhythm of it, if that makes any sense.

Doc's Shrooms

I guess it's just a digital art day chez moi. This is a digital manipulation of an digital photo taken by Doc Froon on the Olympic peninsula. The photo is used with Doc's ever gracious permission Thanks Froon!

I cant decide if i like the subtler layer of geometric forms in this picture or the more dominant geometrics attached to the previous post.

I inherited the canvas and some of the paint to make this one from Star's Grandma when she became too hard of seeing to continue to paint. This one's for you Kassie!!

The glare in the bottom left corner is due to my incomplete digital photo skills. Ya gotta love room to grow :-)
