Gate


"Gate"

just as an aside, this particular piece began as my one thousand, three hundred and forty fourth abstract sketch or "abby". Until I come up with a title, all my abstract sketches, whether hand drawn or digital, are labeled as abby and given a number after scanning the drawing into the computer. 

This keeps the designs "organized" as files because I am usually working on several dozen at once.

Nose Hill Deer Day 2



Day 2 at Nose Hill Park. We were trying to get pictures of the wildflowers but gale force winds prevented us from taking pictures and presented the challenge of staying upright and not becoming a human tumbleweed... During our way back to the car, we came across this doe feeding about 30 yards of the path. Very difficult to take a picture of a moving object while being slammed with very gust winds!!

Abstract Digital


Don't Throw Rocks

a second digital piece that is entirely digital in the process. As with the previous piece, I did not sketch an idea on paper and scan into Photoshop. Both works began as a blank file on Photoshop. It is something I have done before but was not comfortable with and I am still uncomfortable with. I still like to have some "traditional" in my artwork. So enjoy these pieces, this "completely digital" work will be few in numbers...
