Hummingbirds as Fractalius Art

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

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.

Fractalius as Art

Well, it was inevitable that I would discover Redfield’s Fractalius….FUN…FUN!

Skimmer Chick as Art

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

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.
