This lovely daisy, photographed in the garden of one of my mother’s friends, got the foil treatment. Pity they don’t grow in such stunning colours…

38_365 : into the paint pots
I spent some time playing with Atelier Interactive tonight. Nice!!Th colours in this are not 100% accurate – taking photos at night with the flash really isn’t the best option…
Approx 8×11″, acrylic on card.

A story for Sue
A couple of posts this week have feature photos taken in Auckland while on a course with Sue, a fellow librarian where I work. Our rooms were reasonably high up, and looked out onto a huge, square central courtyard. Stunning views…
On the morning we left I decided to get some photos of the wall of windows opposite, across the courtyard, because I though they’d make a good starting point for a painting. I’ve got a nice camera with quite a big zoom lens. I get it all sorted, open the net curtains and point it at the wall of windows across the courtyard from me.
OMG There’s a businessman getting dressed (as in, he’s — well — undressed), my camera’s pointing right at him, and he’s looking our way. Eeek!!! I hurriedly pull the curtains…
I give him a few minutes, and figure he’d have been as embarrassed as us – so he’s either moved to another room or has got dressed. Right???
I pick up the camera, open the curtains, point it at the far wall and – yep, you guessed it. Still there, still not dressed…I decided to skip the photo op before we both got arrested! LOL

37_365 : night-lit tree
This started as a photo of a tree at sunset, and became something else! I like the ‘spookiness’ of it. It reminds me of a sculpture viewed at night with uplights.Share this:

36_365 : playing with photos
As much as I enjoy playing with photos digitally, there is also something very satisfying about taking to the actual photo with bleach, paint, sandpaper, even naked flames!!! I can hear the horrified screams from here.Well, guess what? I’m a scrapbooker and I have come to the realisation that not every photo is so valuable it must be preserved at all costs – some photos are just photos, end of story…
This is a photo taken in Auckland. The way the tall sign echoes the tall thin trees and buildings interested me. I have worked over the photo with Golden fluid acrylics and gel medium.
