30 in 30 - Day 12

Hey Friends,  Todays post will show you a little more of the process.  May be of interest to some one.   I have tried really hard to take photos as I paint.  It is difficult.  I get so lost in the DOING that I forget!  Done with a palette knife-which I'm loving!

I bought a timer today to see if that helps.  (But ya know I've got to remember to set it)

The bottom three photos were taken with a camera so of course they are not very good.

The top image is done on my scanner.  It is a lot more trouble but look how much better the image is.

Anything over 10" has to be scanned in 3 sections at different dpi's and then merged in photoshop and cropped and if need be, resized.

This painting is available HERE.

Come back again tomorrow.

ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA PAINTING 'TENDING HER GARDEN'

Hey Friends, Here is a painting (mixed media) of my Mom watering her tomato plants !!  As you can see I enhanced the beauty of tomato plants.  Most of Mom's efforts and space goes to her beloved tomato varieties and some peppers too.  She does start some flowers but not the colorful banquet you see here.

This will be at the Jefferson Center in the DLP Holiday Show.

The reception is Nov. 29th from 2-4pm.

Hope you can make it.
