On the Street

On a recent visit to Vancouver, B.C., we had stopped for lunch and were seated next to the a window and across the street was this man. He appears to be a street person... homeless. I took the liberty of cleaning him up a bit in my interpretation.This image is 8x10.

San Juan Window

While on a recent cruise, we went to the old town section of San Juan. While some of my friends were buying tee shirts, I spied this beautiful old window. I knew when I saw it I was going to create a painting. I took artistic license and changed the composition and wall colors. I thought ... so many people are walking right under this beautiful sight and never see it.

Loyd's Mountain Firetruck

This image was shot in the mountains of North Georgia. We were returning from one of our back roads explorations when we spotted this firetruck. It seemed abandoned. I shot some color and black and white infrared. The black and white was befitting of the subject.

Mossy Log

Lake Consauga in North Georgia. A tour around the lake gives lots of visuals like this one.

As Above-SoBelow

I went to Lake Conasauga in the North Ga. mountains this weekend with some friends and the weather and lake was beautiful. This over hanging branch was next to our picnic area. I spotted it as soon as we drove up. There's that Yin Yang thing again.

Wall Flower

This watercolor was inspired from a photo taken in Savannah GA on the riverfront.

Over Hanging Rock

This view is directly across the river from my deck. I live in Ellijay Ga. right on the Cartecay river and never tire of the natural surroundings here.

Snow Pebble

This image was shot in the hills just outside Las Vegas. The scene was in shadow so the sun had not yet melted the snow.

Choose Me

This watercolor collage is from 3 different original images. I got the idea when I was on one of my photo hikes. There was a flower (not this one) amidst several fern fronds and it appeared to be saying "Choose Me !" It stuck out so much from its surroundings that you couldn't help but notice it.

Road Less Traveled

This collage is from an original photograph with digital painting. I like to go on impromptu photo hikes near my home. This image is a result of ideas that came to me as I was shooting. You never can find the exact shot that will conform with your thoughts, but you find something that offers a springboard to a really good image.

Photo hike

This is a collage of a few images I shot earlier this week. I love seeing the changes of the seasons with the old and the new on the same plant. Also I was able to capture a tree monster. The springing forth of fern fronds is a reminder from childhood of seeing time lapse photography of plants unfolding from seedlings. Then there is the ubiquitous summer bag worm nests in tree after tree.
