I put salt on some 'stormy spring' oil paintings I'm working on in the basement, over the blue oil paint layer that was the rainy sky, and today the salt crystals turned into drops of water from the humidity, the effect is so beautiful!

pencil sketch then colored and tweaked in Photoshop! I use Photoshop as an art tool and find it a nice extension to my ways of expressing my creativity.

What does it mean you say?
It's random therefore it means a lot but I cannot presume to tell you what you see in it, you have to figure out your own interpretation instead of having a nice clean answer provided!

Or you can just look at it and get what want out of it!

I drew this today at my day job while chatting on the phone. I used the Michelangelo method of working from the torso outwards and it evolved into this picture!

I enjoy re-interpreting the standard themes in art, in this case the ever popular landscape. I used oil paints on canvas with glue and glitter. It has quite a lot of texture that doesn't quite show here.

Great abstract art requires faith and confidence. Colors, shapes and composition are worked until it just feels right to the artist, then it is ready to show.

You have the option to enjoy this and I hope you do!

Made with the liquify filter in Adobe Photoshop.
