Tiger as Art

I have a great job, especially when I am on one of my wildlife workshops photographing a tiger. This is one gorgeous cat. I took this rather moody image and decided it should become one of my digital paintings.

Riva as Art

Riva is my friend Claire’s horse. He’s a gorgeous (her words) beast and was really a lot of fun to photograph. Riva is a Shagya-Arabian and is quite full of himself…in a good way.

I don’t usually do these sketches, but I liked the way this one turned out. You can see “real” photos of him on my main website…HERE.

Lion as Art

I first got hooked on making digital art as a means of making lemonade out of a lemon. Most of the time I had chopped off something or it was an out of focus image that go the artistic do-over. I’ve been going over all of my images from past African safaris and getting them up on the new website and found a few choice images for the Pixelologist to makeover.

This lioness was annoyed at one of the younger males that was a bit “frisky” and she was letting him no how she felt. Sadly, the light was low and I didn’t have enough shutter speed and so the image itself wasn’t sharp. Now it works as an oil painting. At least I think it does, let me know what you think.

Bee and Thistle as Art

I knew when I was photographing the huge thistle with the giant spiky blooms they were going to work out with Fractalius. Here are two of may favorites. I put the originals (no fractalius versions) in my gallery…HERE.

Bobcat As Art

I don’t do very many wildlife shots, they just don’t work very often. I really liked this shot; the bobcat sitting up and posing so perfectly and the colorful mountain background, well it seemed that I had to add it to my portfolio of digital paintings.

I will be leading a photography workshop to this location at the end of October, check it out on the PAW website.
