I’m really enjoying making these photo collages. This one was inspired by a podcast I was listening to about the value of living in or near nature. The background is a cityscape I made in Seattle and the photograph layered over it is of a brilliant winter-red tree I photographed by a lake in Colorado. Enjoy, and thanks for visiting!
30/30 Challenge Day 3
I've been saving the pits from our wonderful Palisade Peaches, planning to use them in a piece or two. This tree has been sitting in the studio for a long time, with too much space on the bottom. I decided to line up some of the beautiful peach pits along the bottom and then coat the piece with wax. I'm happy with the result. Thanks for visiting!
Day 25 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge
This is a photograph that I printed on rice paper and floated onto molten wax to give it a transparent look. The image was embellished using my favorite wallpaper stamps and then filling them with oil stick. A final coat of medium was layered over the top of the piece to pull all of the elements together.
I love this simple tree photograph, and, though it was manipulated to maximize the eeriness of the scene, the image appropriately communicates the feel of that place in time. Thanks for visiting!
