wow… that’s awesome,it looks just like one of those birds is colliding into the windscreen of the sun… :-) how did you create it and how come it has a crease or something running down from the top of it? Is that an intentional flaw? (no offence intended – I like it!)
this is quite opposite from your tribal work. This has a souft touch that made me stop to see more of your work. Love both, softness and tribal. I too would like to know how you created this, is it done on pc?
I used PaintShop pro X to do the art. The birds started as thick black “check-marks”, then I zoomed in with a smudge brush and smeared them into birds. The demarcation down the center is my tribute to a photo my father took about ten years ago. It was a distortion caused by a rebounded reflection of a sunbeam between the lenses. I liked the broken aura effect, and never forgot the image.
thanks for taking the time to provide a wonderful explanation about the composition of your artwork Dalton, it makes the end result all the more fascinating! I now understand what you mean by the broken aura effect, fascinating work! thanks for sharing it. :-)

Yes, and thank you. It was created on my pc, a little more detail in the above posted reply. I am very pleased that it caught your eye.
