 This image was done purely for the splash of colour it provides. Sometimes I'm in the mood to be hit with an overload of colour, similar to this, so I throw reality to the wind, and go for the gusto. It might even look good as a 40 x 60 inch print to hang someplace that needed a boost of colour. However, my in house art critic hates this stuff, and prefers the purist approach instead. Being house bound does strange to the mind sometimes...and I am making no apologies. It is what it is....Cheers!

 This little image tonight was provided by our neighbour Terri, as she brought a handful of blossoms from her lovely garden, to my wife and me. We had not been out of the house for several days, and I think it was her way of checking up on us. At any rate, they found a place on our kitchen table next to a bowl of oranges and bananas. Of course, I had to grab a quick shot of them, and tonight, I decided to play with them a bit, using my Corel Painter software. It is supposed to resemble a watercolour rendering of the original image, and I guess, for the most part, it does a much better job of it in automatic mode, than if I were to go at it freehand....needless to say, I am no artist. This is about as close to that as I can get. The matte and frame is also courtesy of Corel software. It is not something that I will be doing very often, but it is a little change up, to help stave of the boredom dogs....Cheers!

Happy Easter Everyone.....


 This little image was the first attempt at photo editing with some new Affinity software. It will take a little while to be comfortable with it, but so far, so good. Anyway, I decided that it might be a nice one to wish everyone a very Happy Easter, and to stay safe and healthy. Cheers everyone.....
