This is watercolor with crinkling effects no editing except croping. / It is 18’’ by 28’‘tall. / Technique inspired by Qu Lei Lei,wrinkling or crinkling is used to provide texture. Crushed paper is used after balling it up and flattening it. / Creases are made and then gently run a brush over the high points. The majority of these disappear when mounted. Ink Blotting is also done with this method.
The photo was taken in Transylvania.

This is actually a close-up of a wet red table cloth with wrinkles. (Aftermath of doing shots of water being poured on an apple.) I shot it in a dark room with the camera set on a long exposure, then I fire a flash low from the left. MY BUBBLESITE

His name is a bit inappropriate really : his first owners took him from the street where he had been abandoned and whist with them chased a cat (sadly encouraged to do so) and ended up under a car. He went into the forest into hiding and led to a ‘search party’ to find him. Sadly his owner had to return to the UK and despite trying to rehome him were unable to do so. Fortunately (for Lucky) we were moving (with our four cats) to a detatched home and we adopted him. / He has scars on his body and legs, broken teeth and a perpetual ‘life does me no favours’ type of look. He chases cats, runs from pups, tolerates life and barks and snaps at anything that buzzes (he has constant bites and stings as a result). / He is a man of routine, has no social decorum and produces abundant amountsof pet nectar. He constantly needs a bath and hates water: even refuses to toilet or go for a walk if there is a hint of rain. / Given choice he would stay in ‘bed’ 24/7 – probably read a cheap tabloid newspaper – headlines, page 3 and sport. / In addition to the above he is a Heinx 47. Obviously boxer, a hint of mastiff and a suggestion of Rhodesian Ridgeback. LUCKY /

Smoky Thoughts was Featured in the group “B&W – Character – People Shots” November 09, 2009 This is not a portrait in which I shot, it is one in which i have rendered from it’s original, and have turned it into black and white, leaving the background out and softening the textures as well as applying a bit more light from the left direction towards his face.
