Photography Fun

Hi Everyone!

I've been playing with my cell camera and having lots of fun with an App called Photolab.

 This is the Willow tree down the street from my house.


Here it is after I finished editing it.


There are so many different styles and layers that I can play on it all night.  Here are a few more.




These metal deer are in my living room. I was playing with the light coming in from the window.




Here is what it looks like after I edited it in the App.


Here are some other photographs I edited. I can't find the original pictures. These are pictures taken outside.






I'll leave you with one of me. I'm also love playing with Snapchat.



That's all for now.
Thank you for stopping by!

Oh How I Love Experimenting

I love pulling out my art supplies and experimenting on different techniques, colors, mediums, styles, etc.
 
One of the many things I love is layering and black and white paintings. I keep telling myself to keep experimenting with it but then never follow through. For 2017 I'm following through with it. 
 
 
Today I'm going to show you my first work in process paintings. I decided to go tiny. These canvas panels are 3"x3" and 3"x6".  I have more success when I work on a smaller scale than starting with a 12x12 canvas/paper.
 
I also pulled out rubber stamps, stamped on deli paper and adhere it to the canvas in between the layers.
 
 
I don't know where I'm going with them but I will post pictures when they are complete.
