Colorado Color

Colorado Color

Digital artwork featuring layered photographs of western Colorado in four seasons as seen in a juried exhibit at Denver International Airport, spring 2008. Photos were added one at a time and blended using overlay, multiply, and other modes. The flattened result (psd) was adjusted and slight filtration (dry brush) was applied. Photos used include a winter shot of a pine bough with snow, a spring shot of peach blossoms, and a close-up abstract of a piece of rusty farm equipment. I started layering pictures to condense experience when I drew all of the models in a figure sesson on a single large canvas. (See my multiple figure compositions on this site, especially “Seven Poses”)

Layers
Time is a sandwich:
It only seems
like a deli display
of meats and cheeses
laid out beside
one another
under glass.
In reality,
everything exists
at once
above and below
waiting to be
devoured and digested
forever layered
in changeless
transformation.
