A Word Regarding...
Using the painting directly below(which I consider to be in a transitional state – frustratingly transitional), photographed with a cheap digital camera, I popped the imagery into PhotoShop and began to manipulate it digitally, coming up with the variants that you see subsequently. I was surprised at the results – sort of Bob Peak meets Peter Max. Although I really appreciate a realistic approach to painting, particularly the meditative patience it requires, I must admit to having a strange attraction to abstraction as well. If I had deliberately set out to create the look of these images in paint, I doubt if I would have been able to do it. I’m so set in my ways and my mind functions in rather predictable patterns. So many options, so little time…
