Passion for the Abstract
Technique alone is never enough. You have to have passion. Technique alone is just an embroidered pot holder. (Raymond Chandler)
Taking a simple landscape in black and white and making a watercolor type wash is more exciting to me than the realistic image from the day before. ¶ 9:10 AM 0 comments

Moving Waters at Cave Point-Door County, WI
The colors of the water comes from three separate exposures with the camera on a tri-pod. You then take the red channel from one image, the green channel from the second image and the blue channel from the third image and combine them into a new image and here is the result. ¶ 8:09 AM 0 comments

The Hinge
I found this old hinge on a cript in Graceland Cemetery. The craftmanship is evident of both the design made by the famous Chicago Architect John Root and the skill of the blacksmith who forged the hinge in the late 1800's. It is amazing when you think of the hand tools and all the work to make this hinge for a single, one time memorial to an individual. The monochrome image shows off both the aging and the overall look of the original function of the hinge. ¶ 3:22 PM 0 comments

On A Hill Far Away - in Oil
This was really fun today. I like the result and my new image really looks like an oil painting and not a photograph, which was my goal. I am learning the use of Painter IX.5 software through the use of Jeremy Sutton's DVD's. ¶ 3:51 PM 0 comments

Five Birch Trees in Watercolor - New
The lightness of watercolors works with the 5 birch trees. The trick is painting in the medium of watercolor and leaving the mode of straight photography. ¶ 1:25 PM 0 comments
