Undecided Bliss Abstract Healing Artwork In this digital artwork, I created Dark and Light vying for prominence. This is how I am feeling lately. A yearning for happiness and an awareness of deep sadness at the same time. Optimism and hope surrounding a vivid pool of understanding and painful experience. I cannot escape being human and contained there is the depth of our limitations here on Earth. No one proceeds unscathed and in the process we are brought through into […]

Fading Golden Beauty At the end of a bloom a flower is still beautiful to me. I see the history of its existence and the promise of its rebirth. Every beginning has its end and in nature this is evident in cycles of birth and decline. This flower is a beautiful golden color and I really enjoy the bright red accents on its petals. The center cone is inviting to the bees who can rest and enjoy the pollen as […]

Peachy Perfect Iris The Iris is another one of my favorite flowers and I had planted 20-30 different varieties of this flower in my garden. I really enjoy wandering among flowers with my camera. I take hundreds if not thousands of flower pictures every year just to try and capture their vivid nature and bright colors. Each one is different both in color and scent. It is really fun to breath in the sweet smell and smile as I contemplate […]

Bearded Beauty Golden Iris Garden Art I am really enjoying combining my photography and my digital artwork lately. I am able to use photographs and take them apart as layers. After I have separated out colors and shapes then I apply filters to the various components and in the process create a smooth vs textured contrast in my images. This picture is of a bearded iris in my previous garden in Washington State. It is a heirloom variety and was […]

A Yellow Burst of Sunshine Floral Photography Buy an affordable high quality print of my photograph here… Here comes the sun. Bright and bold and yellow.

A Magical Face in the Water Abstract Black and White Painting Purchase a custom print of this painting here and enjoy it for years to come….. Elements of nature are some of my favorite subjects. Fire, Water, Earth and Air are all fascinating to study and explore. Air is a little more difficult and I usually mean art with Clouds in it 🙂 Though that is technically water and air. Ok who is counting (LOL). All of nature is all […]

It is interesting to me that when I look at this painting I feel like I am looking into the heart of the sun itself. All of the fiery energy and molten colors pulsating out into the universe with a fierce and explosive presence. Deep orange bursts into life as it stretches towards us and melts into a soft yellow pulse as it fades to black. I was attempting to replicate the bloom of a Marigold. A beautiful flower that […]

Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen. ~Pablo Picasso

Sunflowers on Psychadelics I love flowers. I enjoy the bright colors and random beauty. I see them and I smile. I stop to smell them and I am transported. All light and beauty and again, color. An abstract flower is a version of what I have seen and what I want to create. Normal and ordinary is a difficult concept for me. I enjoy making things unique to where people want to look more closely at what I have done. […]

Coral Friends

May 24, 2013 by owfotografik

“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It’s always our self we find in the sea.” – e.e. Cummings I was walking along a path and came to a spot and found these two little coral pieces sitting quietly. They reminded me of friends for eternity. A peaceful spot to contemplate their existence and place in the world.
