Abstractions II

I like the angularity of this picture and the contrasts of the bright colors and dark shadows. I made it from a photograph of a fan-shaped plant with long thin leaves like blades of grass.


I did this picture in June 2000, starting with a photograph of white lace. I tinted the lace and then applied a Photoshop plugin called Lacquer (made by Sandwater) to create the lacquered texture.


This picture on the left is my artistic interpretation of those bright lights they have at baseball stadiums at night.


I drew the one on the right from scratch, mainly to see if the paintbrush effect in my art program could be put to interesting use. It's all right, but it doesn't speak to me deeply.


This is one of my most recent pictures, from August 2000. I'm not quite happy with the green portions, which are supposed to look like ferns and other lush rainforest vegetation but at the moment look more like green and black computerized static. The overall composition is great though, and of course I love the rainbows and the big glass eye in the center of everything, so at some point I'll probably go back and fix the ferns to give them all the details of realistic leaves and stems. And then the picture will be perfect.
