One thing leads to another. "Yoga with Pelicans" has for a background a photograph of an acrylic on paper painting, that was worked up in Photoshop and then used with a digital image of yoga woman.
"Three Graces, Streaming", is a continuation of a suite that I have been working on for about six months. Graceful women have shown up in my created images for more than a couple of decades. Since the 70's, at least. I have a steady stream of creativity with one thing leading to another. The images evolve, the women change their style, from relatively realistic to abstract. From the pure love of the Christian Mary variations, to the strength of warrior woman. The Greek Artemis and Roman Diana, are examples of warrior women that have occurred in the creative stream from as far back as the human race can remember. Why do I do this, I wonder. I want to create an impression of ideal femininity for myself and for viewers.
