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.

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.

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.

California Wildflowers as Art

I was in California last week and there were zillions of wildflowers in a riot of colors. I liked the way this landscape of flowers looked and so here it is as a painting. You can see the original and all of the rest of my flowers from that trip at my site….HERE.
