I hope everyone is fine. My day is dull with heavy fog outside. I woke up early and it was still dark, Looking out my window it was foggy with streetlight shining through the treetops. Took some shots I might share later on if they are good enough. They might be all blurry.

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

All different

Wildlife at night!
Another piece on CARB-on A4 black paper. I used stencil for the deer. The rest is a circular foam brush.

Flower field!
This piece was a happening. It was a photo poster from the start that I scraped away the image. Then I used it as black and white art. A week ago I painted it with gold and blue Tempera color. And was lost. :( After using the foam brush on the CARB-on paper I decided to make a Flower field. I was inspired by a real one in a farm outside my town. Lots and lots of flowers, Poppy and many others. So, this is an interpretation of that colorful field.

Autumn avenue
This is an avenue outside my town leading to a Mansion. I photographed it a couple of days ago. This time I did not use photohop for the edit. I have another one called Topaz. The filter used was oil paint.

Trees n seas

Click image to enlarge!

Wetland forest
This is a photo that I edited with "Split toning" in PS. This means you give different colors to highlight and dark areas. In this case blue and green.

In the sea
I bought an old canvas and painted on it with my silvery, tempera colors. It´s a bit shiny but I like the colors. Canvas 30x30cm

Dusk
This is an image I got in my head when I woke up the other day. I clearly saw the white circle and the dark trees. I call it Dusk but I don´t really know if it is dawn or dusk or the sun or moon. :) But, who cares? :)

watercolor and clay

Clay forest, Photo and digital painting on tablet

Trying lots of new stuff this week again while I wait for the acrylic paint.

This time I bought watercolor. Have not done that since I went to school as a child. So it is all new to me. A question to you that are used to the medium, is it possible to keep the paper from "bubbling"?

The Clay Forest, comes from cleaning up some remaning things from my mother. The clay was created by my mother and my daughter some 40 years ago. So, many memories there.
I photographed the pieces and manipulated them one by one in Photoshop. Then arranged the scene. The background is created by painting digitally with a tablet.

Alien landscape

My starting image of the forest

Alien landscape

Today I share the "before and after". "Alien landscape" was created only in CS5 using color tones, blur and blending. Simple but effective!
