Digital Artwork

 


I thought I would share the possibilities that one can achieve with photoshop. The first picture was a tiny, not good quatlity photo that was transformed into the watercolour looking second picture, which the client was very happy with.

Commission Art work


The client gave me a photo of her daughter and asked me to do a painting but because of time restraints and cost, I suggested doing a digital painting which is the one on the righthand side wall.
The person in the photo was wearing a very deep purple dress and I was asked if I could change the colour to match the turquoise in the other two paintings above the bed. Voila !
I charged the client R2700 for the art work which was printed onto canvas and the framing was done by the client.

Women Painting Women

The photo doesn't give it justice but it isn't finished yet and I am just enjoying the textured background before I finish it. Once again my fascination with turbans.

Secret Garden

I was given this pattern by one of my students and had to do it straight away. Usually I draw up my own patterns but this one was so beautiful I couldn't resist it, she is so graceful smelling a rose in her secret garden.

Title undecided yet

Village People

This is not my normal style but I have been playing around with some different techniques which I am really enjoying. I haven't put on the encaustic wax yet but will post new photos when I do. I love the one on the left, they look like they are on their way back from church.

Fat Sue

FAT SUE R (Price on request) 1.00m x 120cm
This painting is a complete conterfeit. The original artist was Lucien Freud, grandson of Sigmund. I saw this painting in a newspaper a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it, promising to paint it for myself one day. It just makes me smile and relax in my own skin. The painting sold for a wopping 17,000,000 pounds! One of the highest prices for a living artist, it sold on auction at in London.

Welcome

Hi there.

Please forgive me, but some of these photo's are not very good but now that I have the gallery up and running I promise to improve on the quality of pictures that I put up here.
For those of you who do not know, I work full time as an artist and I am only too happy to do commissions. Most of these pictures have been sold already but I do have some in storage which I will be adding in the next week or so, just need to take some good photo's. I hope you enjoy.
Oh and I forgot to mention, I am giving Pewter lessons at the Seed Pod why not come over and say hello.

 A Peaceful Sleep.
This painting is featured in my book but what is interesting is that the original does not have these shadows. While I was painting her I put the painting outside under the trees to dry and the shadows created by the sun shinning through the leaves creates a really peaceful painting. (This painting is no longer available, it was given to the trauma counsellor who helped me recover from the PTS that I had suffered with for 10years.)

Astrid

I read the book White Oleander several years ago which is where the inspiration for this painting came from. She doesn't look as sad and unhappy as the character in the book though.


Sego Dancers in Mauritius
The picture doesn't do the painting justice I will try and download a better photo when I have some time.
