Untitled...or Marigold Mandala...whichever.

I have come to learn that these spinny, kaleidoscope-y things are mandalas (or at least in the style of).  I have made a bunch because they are fun and (relatively)easy. So get ready to see a bunch of them. This one is made from a photo I took of a marigold (I think). Also...if you really like the any of the designs you see, you can now click directly on the image and be taken to our Society6 page where you can buy them (and by clicking on the linked image, we'll get a few extra $$'s should you buy something)

Eye don't feel like having a title.

The "source material" for this may have been was posted before..I can't remember. I'm not going to tell you what it is, see if you can figure it out.

You can call me flower (if you dare)

I snapped a pic of a foxglove (weird looking flower...but not THAT weird) and turned it into weirder looking flower.

A bunch of swirly blue lines.

Here is one of my "out of thin air" pieces...my first post here that is not either a photograph or made from a photograph. I like playing with the "wave" and "liquefy" filters in Photoshop. Once you get the hang of them, they are a lot of fun and give you a pretty big bang for the buck.

Different beans.

It might be hard to see, but these are sacks upon sacks upon pallets of coffee beans.

More of the same different.

Again...I may or may not have posted the source material for this. If you must know, it is a bamboo forest.

And now for something completely different...(besides the title)

...well maybe not COMPLETELY.

I think, but I'm not sure, and I am FAR too lazy to check, that I may have posted the original version of this image. Of course, this is the staircase inside the Currituck lighthouse. So what is COMPLETELY different is that I have begun to transmogrify a selected few of my photographs into even more abstract artsy-fartsy things. SO, for the next several posts, I'll be posting that stuff. And maybe, if you are really nice, I'll post some original artwork I made from scratch. If you can't stand waiting, there should be one of those annoying banner-like ads on the right...near the bottom. That will take you to a Society6 shop that features all of my current work (that I have posted there...not everything from this blog is there and vice-versa).
