In this digital environment, we have so many options available to us in how we create paintings. \u00a0We can clone and take information and color from an underlying image, while retaining the ability to add new information, brushstrokes and unique creativity. \u00a0We can paint on top of an image, smoothing, blending, changing texture and color. \u00a0Creating custom work for my clients, the above two options are the best choices for retaining some degree of likeness and these are certainly the best options for \u00a0most photographers who cannot paint.\u00a0And then there is the process of painting from imagination and one needs to be able to paint to do this.<\/p>\n

With this process I visualize an image – even if only a starting point and I start painting. \u00a0I have no sketch, no photo to look at, no still life set before me. \u00a0It is so liberating. \u00a0It is an exploration. It is fun. \u00a0That is how the paintings below were born recently. \u00a0 If at the end of a painting, I look at it and feel nothing – \u00a0is it brings me no joy or has no power or impact, I simply delete it. \u00a0The time and effort os never wasted. There is nothing to loose. \u00a0If you are interested in learning to paint in any of the ways, I described, please send an inquiry so I can determine how I can assist you.<\/p>\n

And \u00a0below one of my all time favorites, and featured before in the post “doodling”<\/h3>\n
