No Title - Suggestions Accepted!

"Stained Glass Window"

This one is a wee bit off center, especially at the base, but I still like it. Doing a lot of transparencies an they copy and pasting them onto a new black and am not always getting them aligned perfectly. Part of the fun is in the experimentation though.

UNTITLED

Neither of these were able to draw a title for me, but I liked the results so much I had to post them! If anything, "Untitled 1 - 3-3-2009" makes me thing of a sculpted Boxwood shrub, or perhaps a "Topiary".

SAND PAINTING III

"Sand Painting III" The last of this "series" also the largest. I've called them "sand" paintings because of the sandstone texture used and how the various other filter applications seemed to move the colors around.

Comments on any and all of my "art" are appreciated!

SAND PAINTINGS

"SAND PAINTINGS" Computerized idea of sand paintings anyway! There may be a third interpretation coming.

INSPIRED BY THE WORKS of OTHERS

"Wounded Knee"

A lot of what I do is inspired by the beautiful works of others. This group of four came from one Apo (Flame) Fractal by my friend, Ali, from Italy. The original color tones were greens but when I did a simple color correction with Irfanview all these wonderful blues, lavenders and shades of pink showed up. I have had a lot of fun working different elements of this one fractal and may explore it further, still. Enjoy!

"Winged Being"

No Title - Yet!

"Diamond Filigree"

CABIN FEVER!

A friend wondered what would happen if I were to "work my magic" on an image she had of this Amaryllis 'Ruby Meyer'. So I accepted the (mock) challenge and these are what came out of just a little "play time".

First comes the elimination of the background so the image can be more easily converted into a transparent background:

Then I pasted a left and right of the basic image onto a black background. You can see what happens from here!

I've a few other things I'd like to try with this one but they require background images I first need to find!

MORE FUN STUFF:

This one is a single of a larger, multi-floral piece posted earlier. Each bloom was pasted into place, one at a time and it all started with this one image that had already been run through various effects.

"Discarded Gift Wrap"

EVOLUTION

Who'd a thunk it that this lovely image of 'Apricot Sparkles' could be taken through such strange manipulations and turned into something totally unrecognizable! That is what I do though; take a normal image and process it through multiple steps, including the use of various "filters" to eventually "morph" the simple into the WEIRD!
"Why?" you ask,well, for no other reason then simply that, "I can"!

Apricot Sparkles "Pop Art" - one bloom with 4 different "color treatments". Treatments are stitched together horizontally, and then

vertically. The background is then removed. Then additional processes render the finished images that follow. (Shows up as a white background here, but it is really transparent.
