I am someone who likes playing around with images, not an artist or a designer. I'm making these images available for anyone who wants them, but make sure you first read the TERMS OF USE and understand the disclaimers and conditions that I've set out. If you do use my work, I'd appreciate a link back to my blog. Thanks!
This blog is in honor of my mother.
She taught me to see and to love color. Thanks, Mom!
Another tribute to days of yore: a rainbow tinted half-circle of woven ('leather') inside a grass-green hoop slides swiftly across a track of pastel rainbow tints and teal.
BOOK OF CHANGES. A core of integrity and essentail honor protected from without. Red and chartreuse cloisonne ring surrounded by rings in chartreuse and spring green, and an outside ring in orange. The innermost core is a delicate 'flower' or 'starflower' in shades of rose.. The rings are held together with pewter-colored clips.
An iridescent circle with a gold star in the center of a gold leaf background. The star is surrounded by a design in coral-colored foil. The outer rim is a silvery iridescent foil. The entire image is on a black background.
A talismanic drawing: a porthole into a starry sky. A dimensional drawing in "chalk" in blue and taupe, with brushed on colors in rose and pale green, with details in orange, gold, and purple.
For Allie Mae. That song "John the Revelator" reminds me of you singing "Go Down, Moses." I don't know why. I still miss you.
I was trying to make a picture that would be a bit artier and less obvious than my other things. You can figure this one out for itself. The image is formed of moulded "stripes" in colors of grey and pale yellow, with a bold accept in green and blue. Superimposed is the main image in yellow, red, and white. The background is black and olive green.
A "sculpture" of cyan-tinted and violet stones and purple metal. It forms a sort of sea creature with a center "star" and surrounding tentacles, some of them with a crystalline finish. If you love teal together with violet, it should definitely appeal.
A box in midnight blue contains a floating panel with a lacy design in yellow, red, blue, and purple. The central image forms the green stems for six yellow flowers. The colors are intense; the image has a textured appearance.
A pattern in metallic colors: bronze and gold alternating with purple and bronze on a white background. The purple design extends off into the vanishing point; hence the name.
Stars whirling against a background of bronze and embellished bluish-green metal. The points of the star are decorated with silver; and the whole is surrounded by a silver frame. I'm moving toward more images that aren't mandalas, spheres, or other symmetrical images. This one doesn't work as well in the smaller sizes, I think.
