Winifred Displays Portrait Paintings

This is a display of 30 large beautifully framed portrait paintings. the display opened November 10th and will remain on exhibit until December 2nd. It has been very well received with many visitors being curious about the process of creating digital art. The fact is that they cannot discern any difference between my portrait paintings created electronically and those created with traditional media.

The following are some of the newest pieces to be included in my collection:

Friends

Beggar in Italy

Mother and Child

Here’s to You

Winifred Whitfield in LONDON 2011

Posted on January 30, 2011 by Winifred Whitfield

Winifred in London

I traveled to London January 12, 2011 to conduct workshops at the annual Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers Convention and trade show.

Exciting enough as that was, it was also the day that I finally closed on the sale of my Poulsbo, Washington farm. It had been a 3 year process.

I guess London was what you might expect – beautiful and raining. On this trip, however, I ventured

a bit further from the convention center than I had the prior year. This trip was special because

Michelle Rumney met me and guided me on my adventure. Michelle is a fine artist painter and has a coaching business

Room at the Edge. She currently lives in London.

Portrait painting of Michelle Rumney, lit by natural light coming from the courtyard of the Westminster Abbey,

London. January 13,2011 She ask me what I wanted to do. I told her that on this brief trip, if I could only visit

Westminster Abbey, I would be happy. So, that was our point of destination.

Westminster Abbey

Armed with my Canon G9, I also set about taking photos like any self respecting tourist.

It was painful to be in the magnificent Westminster Abbey and not be allowed to take photos.

Hence, I tried to soak up the experience with my thoughts, my feelings – my soul.

Lunch at Westminster Abbey

It was special at the end of our tour and headed out of the Abbey to see this long row of

school children in uniform eating their lunch.

I knew instantly that ti would make for a interesting fine art image.

~~~~~

London Bus

An image of a big red London bus was a must have. The vivid colors were inspired by

a workshop I took from fine art digital artist Marilyn Sholin – which is one of her trade marks.

~~~~~

SILENCE

I saw thss display in a small park and was fascinated by it. these figures are made of stone and

the display is called SILENCE

~~~~~

Ferris Wheel in London

You have no idea just how high this ferris wheel loomed in the sky. it was stunning!

~~~~~

As I returned from London, I was in the Vancouver BC Airport when suddenly before me

was a large tank of brightly colored Jellyfish. I think they were performing a ballet.

~~~~~~

I also got to visit with other friends in London, David Hunt, a very talented internet media designer and

who designed this very website OKSO.com and also and Claudia Crawley, owner of Winning Ways Coaching.

It was s solidly good trip which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Port Ludlow Art League – January 19, 2011

Corel Painter is professional digital software engineered to simulate painting with traditional paint media.

On January 19th Winifred displayed many of her large painted canvas portraits and

demonstrated how she used Corel Painter to paint then.

Winifred solicited the assistance of Derick Gundy, who paints in several media, to experience painting digitally. Using a stylus and WACOM tablet he created an image.

There was a great deal of interest from both photographers and traditional media painters following this demonstration. Winifred was ask immediately if she would be available for a second presentation.
