Hi There..Dark night of the soul is really fantastic as is your cafe display in Italy..Love your posts..Robin
ReplyDeleteROBIN - Thank you for your kind words. My photo display is here on Long Island. Hope my post wasn't confusing in that regard. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!
ReplyDeleteLove your work, Lynda. I'd be willing on a 99.9% chance that Brooklyn, NY is too far for a short drive from here :o).
ReplyDeleteI'm really intrigued by computer art. I've been googling and finding different sites that share more of it. It's so crisp and clean, the colors are so vibrant.
HEATHER - Yes, I think you're just a tad too far away to go to MOCA on Friday!
ReplyDeleteOoh, let me know what you come up with. I'm going to try doing more of the fractal-based art, as well as more digital paintings started in Painter and processed in Photoshop. (Have you tried Painter?)
I hope you have fun with it, Heather, and find it less confusing than I do!
Lynda I wish I could. I love digital art. I remember when I got my first copy of photoshop with my scanner in 1999, never stopped photoshopping since then. For about 3 years I did digital photo restoration of old photographs, but then being a perfectionist I think I almost injured my shoulder from excessive clicking, so I stopped and do it occasionally. However, it was fun....I love old photography. Lynda again, thanks for sharing. Anna :)
