I’ve been wanting to take a panorama of the city for a long time, but lately I have not been in the mood for photos in general. A bad case of inspiration disappearing (among other things I have lost recently) out of the sudden. Today I did it… and all flowed perfectly and now I have several different panoramas, all with different techniques and different moods to them. I’m not a huge fan of HDR photos, I think they look overprocessed but I liked how this one turned out.
for my bff over in thailand-she needs art.
I’ve been on a mission to conquer the abstract-a true measure of an artist, I think, as there is no ‘reality’ to compare it too, no likeness to draw close to. Just you. You decide to continue, or when to stop. When to use the ‘f’ word-as we used to tease our sculpture teacher>there is no such thing as ‘finished’. I think there is. the energy passes-it’s time-if you go over, it become overworked and pushed, forced. And therein lies the art.
This is a photograph of a mineral called biotite, one of the mica group of minerals. The crystals are usually stacked, not often seen as individual crystals such as this one. The field of view is about 4mm.

this is one of a series of three. This one is for a commission. Knowing a little about the person, besides knowing he likes red, and abstract, and loads of texture, he’s also gone through big change in his life (new business, going well, old relationship ended) One of the things he loves in his business is seeing a ‘situation’ and cleaning it up to be fresh, sparkling and better than expected. Bearing this in mind, the surface of the canvas was highly textured. There is loads of ‘chaos’ that is steam rolled through, leaving a shining path. It is a visual reminded of his efforts of the day, and the mark he leaves on the world. It is vision of happiness, a job well done, a tribute to freedom and moving forward. I have amped up the colour so it looks great in print.
This was a rock that I notices as I was walking along a frozen stream, the colours caught my attention immediately, it was so Vivid it litterally jumps out at you, from the Pathway going into Bob Creek Wildland Preserve you would never know this were there.
Taken through the fourth floor window of the Brown Building at MICA. The windows have a light/heat diffusing grid in them which makes images hazy and in close up, a kind of reverse pointilism.

New additions to The Hidden Land Collection; best viewed larger but take a step or two back from the computer as I intended these for larger print applications :) A Mica specimen. This has a delicate pink shimmering surface akin to shells. It has a layered structure which leads to its transluscent quality.
Aboriginal people have extracted ochre from these cliffs for thousands of years. The ochre from here is still used by Western Arrernte people mainly for ceremonial purposes. Ochre is integral to the Dreamtime stories of Aboriginal people throughout Australia. Red ochre deposits often represent the blood of sacred ancestral beings. The traditional Aboriginal stories and ceremonies for the site belong to the Western Arrernte men. Women and children are not permitted to dig the ochre or know of the stories associated with this site. However, women are permitted to use ochre from this site in their cemonies if it is provided by the men. This is one of the most dramatic formations of the Ochre Pits, with swirling near-vertical curves of colour on the 10m-high cliff face. Wind and rain have carved into the layers to reveal dramatic designs. The different colours represent layers of mudstone and siltstone once horizontal but steadily heaved into their present near-vertical position when the MacDonnell Ranges formed over 300 million years ago. Yellow ochre, the dominant colour of these ciffs is caused by a mixture of white clay and iron oxide (rust). The red-brown colours are formed by high levels of oxidised iron in very fine-grain haematite or limonite. White ochre has very little or no iron. The white colour comes from kaolin, a white clay mineral. Tiny fragments of mica and quartz give ochre a shiny quality.

This was a few different images I had that I put all together to make the final image. The colored background was mica powder on canvas that I enhanced and brightened the colors with Topaz Labs. I then inserted a self portrait and blended it. To take up a little empty space I used a leaf photo layered it on the image. Lastly, I found the word ART that I spelled out on a blank canvas with markers and layered that image on the bottom. Signed and whallah! DONE! I call it ART! / /
