The Cover of the current Aperture Magazine shows an abstract by William Eggleston, a great photographer who also does abstract art with markers. There are images inside of his work, and also on the website, though the ones int he Journal are much bigger. I was wondering if the cover image was digitally manipulated from a white original, and decided to try it with mine. (I don't claim my art is in the same style at all, mine was done in water colors, not markers.) It was just something I was eager to try and Steve gets the results in his pocket. I changed the aspect ration and am printing it 4 x 6 on photo paper.

Love it ! I also love the idea of taking an image in many new directions. I'll have to check out Eggleston's abstract's as well. Like you, I can't really claim one style - either I don't have the discipline or really, at this point, have no desire. I'd be a marketer's nightmare, haha! Anyhow, thank you so much Mary - this is much appreciated!
The orange background really makes the colors scintillate!
Thanks, Steve and ballookey. Orange is not normally a color I love, and I am plying with it to see its uses. These are learning experiments for me.
You can add me to the "Artists with No Singular Style" roster, I'm afraid.
Mary, I always admire your willingness to experiment with the computer as an artist's medium. Not sure why, but using the computer for art creation always leaves me unfulfilled. It never seems as tactile to me, like it's too indirect perhaps? Yet I love looking at what others have done by computer! I'm glad you find it satisfying, so that I can taste it through you.
Thanks, Hennie!
I appreciate your kindness! :-D
I love playing with images, and it's the visual impact and resonance I am going for--resonance for ME, first, of course. I want to like it myself.
My skill is always less than what I wish for, so if I can fiddle with it and make it appeal to myself more, it pleases me. And I just like experimenting.
Keep on experimenting! You inspire me to try new things too!
YAY! :-D :-D
