In the beginning this image was a photograph that I took while my children were swimming in the local pool down in the park and I was wandering around with my camera.

I am fascinated by clouds., and as I often do, I looked to the sky for inspiration. I could look at them for hours and hours watching the scene change as the winds blow them here and there. Depending on the weather and whether or not you are paying attention is what you will see. Some people have very active imaginations and soap operas play themselves out in vibrant delight. For others they are just puffy white things in the sky. To me they are ever evolving abstract works of art.

In this particular image I painted a cosmic scene of a loving mother. Sitting quietly observing her children at play. A book is held in her hand as she seeks to understand more about her world by absorbing the literature that has been written on the subject. Does she understand the realm that she inhabits or is it just a stopping point on the next leg of her journey. Either way she is never far from her children. She wouldn't dream of being gone for a moment and is always there when needed.

This photograph was taken in Winthrop Wa (Washington State), in the beautiful Methow Valley. The Methow is a small jewel of an area not too far from Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. Okanogan County is such a great place to live for all of the sunshine and outdoors recreation.
I started with a digital photograph and used a HDR process to tone map the light. Then I applied a finishing oil paint layer to add texture to the overall image. I did some tonal work to even out the colors and make them realistic to what I was seeing in nature but not excessively.
I am interested in photography as an "unusual" or "unique" image making process. In other words I enjoy starting with a photograph of an ordinary scene or subject and then I try to make it my own by adding unusual processing techniques. I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as i enjoy creating it.
