RENAISSANCE STILL LIFE

Catch Up

I have fallen behind with my postings here again...darn!  One reason is the lack of time.  I post on Facebook and then have to post here and possibly on Flickr.

Here are a few of my recently created images:

 

 

Taken to be used later as a replacement sky in a future landscape.  Love the clouds!

 

 

 

 I am so excited about using the iPhone.  I cannot stop.  I am addicted! 

Bringing Things Up-To-Date

Oh my, have I fallen behind with posting again?  Yikes!

Here are a few recent images:

Recent Endeavors

This week I experimented with iPhone apps.  Here are two images taken using the Hispanatic app.  It really feels good getting back to doing still life images.  I truly love still life.  Anything else is extra.

Test for Uploading Images

Testing one, two, three, four....  Uploaded some images using Internet Explorer and HTML...and now I will try uploading images in HTML while signed in on AOL.  Seems to be working.

THE RECEIPT

Refining Images

Below is a companion piece to my header image (above).   Today I spent time refining it using Photoshop CS6 and a Wacom pen and tablet.

Balance

A variety of tints can change the mood, as well as the interest evoked, in any image.

Harmony in the Balance

Perception and Understanding

Recently I ran into an unexpected experience. I wasn't prepared. I learned that some people do not like, or understand, still life images. I was shocked. I thought everyone knew that still life images contain symbolism and messages--hidden, or not so hidden. Images are never just things. They are often intense disclosures about one's life, beliefs, thoughts and feelings which materialize because they insist on being shared. Images reveal one's psyche...light and dark... things seen and unseen.

For artists: Get out of your own way...[get out of yourself]. Go with the flow...become immersed in the experience of creating. Let the unexpected happen.

Those who do not understand can go. Care about them, and... Let-em-go. Some folks get "it" and some folks don't!

P.S. A hearty thank you to the people who make me think.

Merry Christmas!
