Line It Up



New Year – 2013
Pay attention
Draw every day
Drink lots of water (Flossy strongly advises)
 Read a poet a month – start with William Blake
Laugh a lot
Line my actions up with my thinking
Line my thinking up with my beliefs
Shove God in there (thank you, Colleen)


Got resolutions?

Free Toys

There is time here in Denver to do some exploring and experimenting with the fabulous Photoshop Elements.  These photos of poppies blooming wild on the morning walk trail and big old cottonwoods were doctored up with a background from Free Photoshop.org

I like the way these free toys can add a patina of age to my digital photos, and am only just scratching the surface of possibilities.

A Fork in the Road


The exhibit of right around 30 pieces I’ve completed over the past year goes up at a local gallery Friday.  Yesterday the radio station reporter interviewed me about the show.  It was interesting to take a look at some of the work through his eyes, and to realize that I have arrived at a turning point once again – the end of one path and the beginning of another.

This fork in the road is a good place to be standing near the close of the year.  Over the next weeks I will be examining my accomplishments for 2011, and setting goals on paper for 2012.  I did this last year, following Zom’s good example, and found it very helpful: self-esteem building to look back and see a bit of progress; illuminating to envision and prioritize undertakings ahead.  

One of my intentions for the new year ahead is to continue learning how to push Photoshop Elements around.

Remember this little fabric sample I think I showed you the other day? 

I brought the image into PSE...
and turned it into this using blending modes and filters.  Quite addictive, really!
