Cathedral Windows
The windows of St. Paul's Cathedral...noise was added, color adjusted, and highlightened in areas in order to achieve a greater sence of mystery and some ambiguity.

Hidden Heart
Digitally manipulated photograph. Negative image then hue adjustments. Cloning to simplify the composition and remove unwanted images. The heart appeared in the negative! I love serendipity!

Lanterns
This photo was taken of my Japanese lanterns with the tree that is decorated with Christmas lights. The original photo was nearly 100% black with only some faint glow from the lanterns...taken without the flash. I brought up the image using auto fix which gave me something to work off of though in tones of blacks and greys. I applied color adjustments then began reworking the image to eliminate negative elements (wiring, etc.) and cloning in desired elements. I then used the lightening brush and reversed the hue using a lower opacity and density brush on selected portions in order to add subtle warmth in order to delicately increase its range of depth.

Blue Crab Tree
Digitally manipulated collage...only two layers! The bottom layer is a photo of an ice painting left on my window by Jack Frost. The tree (a summer photo) needed alot of erasing of other trees and background elements. I adjusted the hues and applied the colored pencil with low opacity on the tree. The purple tinge was developed from applying the hue brush locally. Then I used the lightening/darkening brush to create depth on specific elements in the trunk, branches and upper branches.

Mulberry Moon
Hmmm...I thought I had placed a description here...sorry to those who are interested. This photo was nearly all black...regrettably, I lost the cloud formations that are in the original while I was adusting the color...(I usually hate the use of black-ugh!) I brushed the purplish color on the foreground mulberry branches with a low density brush, then I brought them forward, defining them from the background with the lightening brush (low opacity). Using the lightening brush (high density and opacity), I augmented the subtle white dots that serendipitily accurred in color adustments in order to highlight them. It is a photo though remarkably it looks like a watercolor wash!

Wildwood Bridge
The original photo was extremely visually cluttered, with no real discernment between the foreground and background foliage. Using the lightening bush, I brought forward the leaves and the trees in the foreground, and added some shadows in selected areas for depth and dimension.

palm tree
This piece began as a photo taken inside of the Milwaukee Domes, in WIsconsin, USA. Three huge glass encased ecosystems house a desert theme, tropical theme, and seasonal flower exhibit. The glass is held up with a metal grid, which I cloned out of the photo using Jasq Paint Pro Shop. I applied the pencil effect wh ich washed out the depth of the palette. So I adjusted the shadow-midtone-highlights to regain that depth. I used the lighter/darkness brush to increase the range in small selected areas.

Smoky Tree along 25
A layered collage of two photos processed in Jasc Paint Shop Pro. The top layer is a photo of cobblestones from my driveway which was erased with a mid-high opacity in order to texture the landscape photo yet to allow it to be visible. Adjustments were made to the saturation levels, color and lightened selected elements (fence posts and leaves).

West Wind
Digital manipulation of three photographs. The breath swirls were a segment taken from a photo of my olive green kitchen tablecloth, the colors adjusted and erased with lower density and opacity brushes. They were then each individually warped. The model (my daughter) was erased in the same manner, her lips warped slightly, then she was highlightened slightly in areas. Most of the tree branches and leaves were eliminated by cloning one teeny little dark area in order to increase the readability of the tree's major shape. Five (six?) layers.
