Abstractions IV

More paintbrush effects. This picture looks to me like the bottom of the ocean.


The picture on the left reminds me of some other artist. Early twentieth-century, either American or Mexican. I can't think of who I mean. Oh well. The colors are kind of interesting, and I like it that the texture looks like very thick paint. I don't remember how I accomplished that.


This picture is from June 2000, and it's one of my favorites. I made it from a photograph of lace: First I tinted the lace pink and orange, and then I applied a Photoshop plugin called Lacquer (made by Sandwater) to it to get the effect where parts of it look like wax or plastic while other parts still look like lace. I'll talk more about this plugin on the next page.


I can't rid myself of the feeling that this picture looks rather Christian. Please tell me I'm wrong! I'd hate to think I spend my spare time producing propaganda for a religion I've never belonged to and which as far as I can see has done little but promote prejudice, war, and pain thoughout its entire history.
