I am no longer active here. Too many restrictions and unpleasant interactions with admin.
In addition I now focus on traditional art, which is very neglected on this site.
If you are interested in following my art you can find me on RedBubble

See you there!
About my Art - Watercolor, Poser &Vue I have been painting mainly with transparent watercolor on paper. Most of my paintings depict hypothetical situations and imaginary scenes, striving to capture ideas and moods rather then a resemblance to specific places or people. On many occasions more than one way forward suggest themselves either from the onset or during the painting process. I like to explore these possibilities in different paintings and thus I have several ongoing themes (Some examples of themes I worked on are shown in the image above). I started useing Poser and then Vue mainly to set up virtual models and/or scenes which are then painted in watercolor. The CG images were supposed to be only an intermediate stage, but I now got the CG bug, and I'm trying to make these images a 'product ' on their own accord. Feedback is really very important to me. I appreciate any form of it: comments on the impact the images had on you (or saying it had none), things you enjoyed, things you hated, any artistic aspects - (composition, color, lights & shadows etc.) - any technical comments( eg Poser/Vue issues) and anything else you find relevant. If you dont know a lot (or at all) about Watercolors, Poser or Vue, please dont let it deter you from leaving a comment. Just comment on what you see and what it made you feel or think. You could also ask questions, and if I know how to answer - I will.

Morning Glories are my absolute favorite flower. I love the way they take everything over - they are pretty persistant too : ). I like your concept here - again I find myself wondering what it will look like as a watercolor. Looks like you snapped the shot on the right towards the 10-12 hour - I think the render might look better with more of a 6am sky. Or possibly a combination somehow.

It´s a nice picture to look at. From the technical point of view, I´d wish a more effective compositing effect; maybe ID jjroland is right and probably photos will have a better matching if lights intensity were somehow more balanced. Anyway, still this is very subjective, and perhaps this perception obeys to the fact that the author mentioned the presence of 2 photos and some postwork. I wonder what would have been our perception if she wouldn´t do so. My problem with this image is that I don´t see any adversity signs around. Atmosphere, colors, framing is telling another story for me_ the optimistic outlook on life... Was this "adversity" in the author´s state of mind? In that case, I´d like to quote this: "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant. " Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus), Satires.

i can't quite pinpoint all the elements outside that curly green vine. but this photo composition is very stylistically consistent with your paintings. it takes a very good eye to find something in nature and record it from a perspective that's uniquely your own. very skillful eye and creative will.

It´s a very interest work to put the two different photos together. I like it!!
