. . . changed my focus




from painting to photography? I really do get a kick out of these picture-taking excusions, expecially when I'm able to edit the shots to get something interesting. The round disc is one of the junky things I have added to my texture-making tools.





The curving line in this photo caught my eye.





Don't know what this is. . . it looks like a wooden barrel, but I believe it is actually some sort of fabric covering. . .






Click on this picture to see why I like it. It's the side of a tall skinny concrete building on the BNSF property.






Lots of texture here, with that shot of limey green.

Photos are voluptuous--#1 and #3 are practically x-rated.
I like the BNSF building--and it's gotta be screen-size--too.

Great textures - I love the way your photography and your painting is so integrated. Not too many people can convey their signature style across media boundaries so well.

Jazz, thank you so much. I love urban grunge.

Jeane: Thank you, girl. It's so much fun especially when the end result is worth looking at.

Donna: Thank you; quite a compliment coming from one of my favorite artists.

Leslie: Thank you. I wish you had been here with me when I took them.

Mamadoc: Voluptuous and x-rated. . . WOW. I'm just the intermediary... Thanks always for your insight and appreciation.

Bob, I guess I paint from my photographs. Thanks for the comments.
