Horse Sampler,#2, abstracted
digital, 1/2020
Dave asked me to make a picture of a horse. I puttered around a while before deciding to do it. I set my creative intention to be realistic, because that is what Dave likes. After making the realistic horse in Photoshop I wanted to abstract the picture. So i made up some loose guidelines. I thought of diamond shapes, I thought about Harlequin patterns. This was a lot of fun.
Today, I worked on another pair of pictures, but with female figures instead of horses. The realistic figures are almost done and i started abstracting them today. I am exercising my style tools, and doing something rather new. I follow my muse. I keep the art interesting, changing my guidelines, a bit here and a bit there. I never get bored photo-shopping and painting.
The next thing that I want to do with the horse, is to blow him up. I am excited to see how that will look.
If that is not enough, working on four px's at once, I am also doing another thing even more out of my usual zone. I have made some painted drift wood sculptures that looks fantastic. I need to buy a new camera to get quality of photos of the sculptures. Been doing the research on that.
