New work, Umbrella Girl

Another new digital drawing/collage. The saying at the bottom reads, “A garden is a site for the imagination.” The text is taken from this quote:

One lifetime is never enough to accomplish one’s horticultural goals. If a garden is a site for the imagination, how can we be very far from the beginning?
-Francis Cabot Lowell

Balloon Girl – new digital collage

Here’s a new digital collage I finished this afternoon. The quote reads:

Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O. Eckland, “Footprints On Clouds”

New painting: Dawn Beach Lattice

Another new abstract painting. I created this one with colors that reminded me of the beach, although, not literally. Like the rest of the abstracts in my “lattice” series, this painting was created digitally. I started in Photoshop with a canvas that was 10×8 inches and laid down a mix of tans and aquas with custom brushes. Over that I picked a couple of custom brushes that were made from photos of bricks and randomly stamped them into a grid, or ‘lattice’ which I then added color too, trying for a harmonious balance. I used texture on my brushes to try and achieve a traditional paint feel to the image, and when I was happy, I flattened the canvas and overlaid it with more texture scans. The final result is below, and it’s available in my Zazzle store on a variety of products.

New Abstract Painting, Colorful Lattice

karynlewis — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:45:03 +0000

Last night I finished a new abstract painting in Photoshop. Painting abstracts is very relaxing for me. And challenging. They don’t always come together. This one follows my “lattice” series of paintings, where I lay down a background, “stamp” it with a random grid pattern, and then paint colorful squares on top of it. Here it is below as a print, ready to purchase from Zazzle.
