Man’s Best Friend
© C J Lewis. Digital art work created using a photograph of a tree trunk as the inspiration for the subject matter. PhotoPlus6 for air-brushing, smudging, colouring and sizing. I use the mouse with the smudge tool to move the colours around and into the shapes desired as I don’t have a Wacom tablet.

Chris, this is just totally sublime!
You can tell how much the old man loves his pooch. And he looks so kind. The dog has had a very positive effect on him over the years. Charming work.

Keith Reesor
Incredible work and very unique inspiration!! I also find myself seeing faces in marble, wood grain and when the light shines through curtains, but usually when I try to show someone they think I’m nuts!! When you place the picture of the tree trunk with your painting its amazing!! I can also see your picture in the trunk!! :)
C J Lewis replied
Hi kreesor … it’s amazing what we can see in nature when we look into it … those that say you’re nuts obviously don’t have your powers of observation yet … you should do some paintings of what you see in the marble, wood grain & curtains … life is all around us whether in the material or spirit. I usually put the picture up as well to show others where/how I see what’s in there … it helps to open their powers of observation too … which can teach a lot on spiritual levels :)
Thanks for your lovely comment and the fav on this one … appreciated :)
robpixaday

C J Lewis replied
