Minotaur.

I started this painting in a very abstract way with rhythmic strokes, and it just took on a life of its own. It was not until I scanned it, and started making a few modifications with Photoshop did I see the bull or lion head. Painted with watercolor paint and pencils. 

Camogli.

When I was about 12 years old, I found a photo of a fishing village and made a painted copy of it. I never knew where that fishing village was until many years later when I was hiking along the north western coast of Italy, and suddenly there it was. Camogli is part of the towns and villages that make up the Riviere di Levante. Olympus OM1n with 21mm lens. Ektachrome Professional slide film. Various effects with photoshop

Winter Twilight No.2.

Changing the color and contrast to the first version of Winter Twilight has given it a more wintery look.

Winter Twilight.

Starting with a fairly simple and basic photo of some trees, and then scanning it into photoshop, allowed me to play with the image until I discovered the right effect. Being creatively playful is what its all about. Nikon N90s with 80-200mm lens.
