Wildlife

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.

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.
