Digital Paintings Four

Rolling along now and sloshing the digital paint about unrestrainedly, I continued the experiments into form, color, and depth.


	This painting is based on one of my many duck photos, but everything you see was painted.


	This is the first "stained-glass" painting...


	And this is the second one.


	This was a satisfying photo-modification for me. It is the second attempt and is much closer to the mark.


	After a several-month break, I seem to have needed some wide open spaces. I was trying for both appreciation of flat pattern and depth. The contradiction made, I thought, an agreeable tension.


	This is another shadows-painting. In it, I imagined amiably conversing with this man, perhaps in some alternate life. As a painting, I was looking for the effects of light out of darkness.


	This was an experiment in drawing that just kept evolving. The image developed spontaneously toward the ceramic look that I like for some works.


	This is the first of a series of paintings developed from a single "under-painting" which in turn was developed from a photo. Wanting to get more experience with different digital graphic tools and techniques, I produced in a fairly short time a half-dozen works. I enjoyed the process of focusing only on the result, not the content.


	Here is more contrast, more nitty-grittiness than the first image.


	And back to the simple shapes and raised form in this version.


	Still in the same state of mind as while doing the image above, I tried for a stone-textured tile look.


	This is the last in the "Breaking Eggs" series. Here I emphasized texture, and I returned to the more painterly manner of the first and second of the series.
