Tiny Tines Work in Progress |

Trilobite: Four by Five |
In the spirit of cooks and their knives, carpenters their hammers, and gardeners and their tools, I find that
Photoshop is my new favorite creative tool.

Roller Coaster Work in Progress 2 |
During the past few weeks I have begun to explore Photoshop C-4, taking a single image and playing with colors and spaces, making small friend
Theresa Trilobite into
Trilobite: Four by Five. I spent time in Photoshop yesterday with
Roller Coaster, an unfinished watercolor that creates beautiful patterns, and with
Tiny Tines, a work in progress based on part of a large salad fork.

I face a dilemma now.
Ohio-Tennessee Glaze, the new nanoscape which I began on a
Pass the Baton trip to University of Akron and Vanderbilt law schools, is finished in its life as a watercolor. It now presents
a delicious Photoshop challenge: which way does it look best? Let me know what you think.

O-T Glaze #4 (rotation 2) |
Admittedly, this is not a bad problem to have.
But between you and me and the mouse,
O-T Glaze has not yet really begun its Photoshop journey. In these four images I simply (I can say that now) flipped and rotated the original without changing any of the colors. Options: color, no color, textures, posterizing, and much, much more...Can't wait.
Commerce Note: Prints of
Trilobite Four by Five are available through
imagekind.com your choice of sizes and framing options.
