Brown Pelican as Art

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maine Coast as Art

I spent a week in Maine and really really enjoyed being there. The coast line is spectacular and a photo moment at every turn. I was there when the wildflowers were in full bloom and in this image used the wild lupine for a foreground of a harbor image.
