Barred Owl as Art

I’ve really been enjoying adding textures and other elements to images to make new artistic interpretations.

I wrote an article about how I created this image on my blog…HERE.

Sandpiper as Art

I was just in Texas and had a great day or so photographing shore birds on High Island this little Western Sandpiper image had such great colors that I gave it a workover and made this painting.

Least Tern as Art

I was photographing Least Terns in Biloxi and I wanted to play with a couple of them to see how they would look converted to art. I took a portion of an image and made this panorama. I hope you like it.

Cattle Egret as Art

admin — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:35:58 +0000

I really like the original Cattle Egret image and it is on the artsy side of my photography, so I’ve included it here as well. The second image started with Fractalius and I went from there, the third is straight from the camera. Which is your favorite?

Brown Pelican as Art

admin — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 20:30:57 +0000

While photographing an eaglet in it’s nest, I spent the waiting time photographing most anything that came along. The light was fantastic when this pelican came gliding in and I new when I took it that it would make a nice painting.

Hummingbirds as Fractalius Art

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:56:54 +0000

I took a lot of new hummingbird photos while I was in Colorado and of course decided to make a couple of them into digital paintings. I used Fractalius to create all of these images.

You can can see the original photographs…HERE.

Hummingbird and Thistle as Art

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 12:20:48 +0000

When I was at Block Creek Natural Area, I had a chance to photgraph quite a few birds and as soon as I saw this image, I was sure it was destined for the Fractalius treatment. That thistle had a lot of great geometry and I am learning that the better the geometry the better the results. Wish I had worked harder on that when I was in high school…OK, not really!

Enjoy this Black-chinned Hummingbird enjoying the thistle. Enjoy, more images at my site…HERE.

Skimmer Chick as Art

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:13:35 +0000

This is a bit different than the normal “art” that I post. I was fortunate to be around when a colony of Black Skimmers were hatching. There were chicks of every age from freshly hatched to fledged. This little puffball was stretching his wings and I thought it was very cute. I decided to create this panoramic montage of the action. I call March of the Skimmers. I hope you like it.

Geese as Art

admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:46:07 +0000

I don’t often pixel paint two images at the same time, but I though that these would look together if you hung them together as a pair. I photographed these Snow Geese at the famed Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. Bosque is an all time favorite palce to photograph and it was the place that I went on my very first workshop. Coincidentally I am leading a workshop there myself this year. Maybe I’ll find some more painitngs. You should come and check it out, its is a terrific workshop, if I do say so myself! Here is the link for more information about the workshop.
