Formal or posed portraits where the sitter was aware of the camera and of me and my intentions. In most of the pictures spoken instructions were given and collaboration between the subject and the photograph was paramount.

another wonderful old barn that we found!

Sometimes I’m amazed by how such a simple subject can turn out into such a beautiful image. So initially when the leaf dropped into the water, I wanted to capture the ripples in the water, but then the water turned so silky smooth and I just had to fire away. Probably best viewed in large format.
This is where I would like to be heading color, light, mixing of Old and New with just a touch of wildness to complete the picture. / Mix of Old + New + Viewer or / Nature + Technology + Viewer (to See) = heART Nature Art is Caring for the Environment via Art

Let’s look at the subjects that people favor when purchasing art. By extension and personal experience, these are big buckets that are searched for often, but are hard to win through search engine optimization and expensive to buy through pay-per-click advertising. In a survey of 2,000-plus art buyers ages 18 to 65 (selected based on their previous purchase of art), shoppers aged 45 and above favored landscapes, flowers and gardens, and country traditional themes more than those who are younger. Shoppers aged 35 years of age or younger favored photography, abstract/surrealism, European subjects, and movies or celebrities (pop culture) more than the older [in age, perhaps not in spirit] consumers. Here are the art themes that had the strongest appeal to shoppers (in ascending rank). One caveat: keywords that are a direct hit, e.g., Star Wars, Barack Obama, etc. don’t apply below; it’s a given that brand names are targeted by their very nature. 1. Landscape / 2. Photography / 3. Flowers, Gardens / 4. Wildlife, Animals / 5. Abstract, Surrealism / 6. Impressionism / 7. Tuscany, Paris, Cafes (scenes of Europe) / 8. Still Life / 9. Country Traditional / 10. Pets (dogs, cats) / 11. Sports (baseball, cricket, football, futbol, soccer …) / 12. Religious / 13. Pop Culture / 14. African-American / 15. Brand Icons / 16. Hispanic Art / 17. Other What can we do with this information? We can use the above keywords for tagging, artwork/group descriptions, and Bubblesite text, as well as integrate them into titles, description copy, and hyperlinks in from external blogs, personal websites, and other credible referral sources (e.g., press, social shopping websites such as StyleHive, Kaboodle, etc.) when linking back to your RedBubble pages. In no way should these tags be applied to unrelated work; you’ll drive page views, but not sales. Plus, it’s poor form. There are many excellent categories missing above, e.g., nude art, self-portrait, dance, etc. The recommendation is to think about how you search online. Use common terms and keep it simple. If this article bores you to tears, we suggest that you take a bit from the above and then go with your gut. You know your artwork best, and by thinking like a regular art shopper you might find that fewer tags in a simplified structure will help categorize your work – both in your own mind and for the shopper and buyer. Bringing it all back home. All this sales talk is great; thanks for listening. However, I don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the outcome is to provide an amazingly great work of art and design to someone that appreciates it… that we artists made something that someone loves or gave to someone they care about. In many cases, the shopper will come to think of you as a contact or friend; or at the very least, someone that they feel they know a bit about. Regards, / Jason
One never knows what will happen in life. There are always good predictors, but there is always that curve ball. The odd distractor that throws everything off. Some of the surprises are pleasant and some are downright uncomfortable. My advice? Roll with the punches and keep your head above water. After all, that’s where the air is. ;o) Created in Apophysis 3D Hack.

© Copyright 2009 Ivana Redwine, All Rights Reserved Abstract Trees, Moss and Branches in Blues With Accents of Other Colors is influenced by Fauvism and uses color subjectively for its emotional impact. I used Trees, Moss, Branches and Glimpses of Sky as a point of departure. As I digitally manipulated the photo, it became increasingly abstract. The finished image still has representational elements, although they are reduced to ghosts of what was in the original photograph. The work now reads mainly as an expressive abstraction.

It’s taken me a while but here is another completed version of late night digital work, completed over the course of would you believe almost 1 whole day, my little one, seen here is very demanding and having had so many computer virus’s lately crashing my system I’ve had to format and reinstall from scratch many programs etc.. I started this at 3am saved it in bits and pieces and resumed around 12pm.. I’m totally exhausted. / I used several layers a total of 20. Wings created using brushes I created from a birds wing. / Light rays created totally in CS3 from a curtain whereby I took the main focus of the shimmer and turned it into a brush effect, reduced the opacity and worked in another few layers, added the warped vignette, my sig also on reduced opacity & to finish it off played with the contrast & colors until I was satisfied with the result.
