New paintings and regular art updates.
Janus, two faced
Looking forward
To the future
And back
To the past
January is your month..
Old Year gone
Now New here.
What is your future?
Do you know your past
Janus, oh two faced in one.
Will you last?
One thing my very old phone had was a series of patterns thar you could draw with and fill in areas. As the phones improve and give you more options, you also can lose some of the raw ideas that helped you create something new.
I have lots of tools that I can use now, but I tend to stick to one or two of them that give me what I want. Maybe new phones might have some of these retro ideas?
Times are changing. When I drew this more than ten years ago I never imagined there would be a female Vice President in the United States, but Camalla Harris has just been inaugurated. It is another step on the change in society that has happened in the twentieth and now the twenty first century. The Suffragets would be amazed and, I hope, pleased.
As for the 46th President of the United States, I hope he presides over a safer country. A kind country. Perhaps a country that dumps fake news generated by spin doctors and naysayers’. A healthier country and a healthier world. As a bystander across the pond I can only wish you well…
Experiment with Sketch app and photodirector. Trying to make this look like an old print, weathered and scratched. Faded and bitten out like an etching that has been worn out. Trying to look like a photocopy…
Tortie cat
Rainbow kitty
Big eyed
Lovely
You stare back.
Look of love
Remove stress
Now she purrs
To my caress.
Made of rainbows
Daisies
Clouds
So delicate
She’s a great
Cat!
What sees us under the deep blue sky? Alien faces with glimmering eyes. If they open wide a nova will scorch the ground. Smoke rising and polluting the air.
Photo of a tree, mirrored in layout app and then details added of a face using a symmetry tool.
Ginger moggy
Like lemon marmalade
Hasty and zingy
Wide eyed and happy.
Bouncing like rubber
Heels kicking
Flying free
Ginger moggy
I wish I were thee…
This picture was done using a photo of a cover if a colouring book, then duplicating and twisting and mirroringbit in the Layout app. Finally I changed the texture in photodirector, then added a background of starry nebulae and added a grunge layer to it (both in photodirector). The more you play, the more you learn!
A digital drawing enhanced in photodirector to increase the abstract convolution of it. I have a feeling it reminds me of an Elephants tooth biting surface. But most things have resemblances to other things.
I changed the colours which were originally reds with blueish stripes. I made the colours more balanced. I had fun with it…
A rose, red as blood. Thorns or thornless, a joyful thing. Here is life and beauty, scent of musk, blooms that attract bees and insects. I remember the rose bush at home when I was a child. It had bright pink roses climbing up some trellis work. We used to collect the petals and try and make scented water out of them. It didn’t really work, but it was fun trying. The rose bush must have been eight or ten feet high and as wide. In the summer the scent was fantastic. I remember it was next to an old shed and the paint on the door was green and bubbling off because of the sunlight. The contrast between the fresh roses and the shed door was so interesting….
