Loved Ones
This painting is of two things I love, shells and roses.
Yes, I do paint using Painter and a tablet. However, all the paintings are based on my photographs. As many of you have experienced, we often wish that we could take that photograph and change the light and composition as WE feel it, as We envision it. Even though I may capture a great subject with a photograph, painting allows me to emotionalize the subject to express the feelings that the photo brought out in me.



Loved Ones belongs to the following groups:
* Painted Nature *, Digital Brushstrokes (Max 3 per Day), First Things, Mixed Media, Seashells and Stop and Smell the Roses Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
