A Day At The Beach
In putting some things together for a still life I ended up with shells, a basket, and some cloth. I was also aware of the negative space during this process. Once isolated, development on the objects began and then textures were introduced. With textures, I wanted to imitate the blue sea and a sky at sunset. The cloth added flow to the scene.

The Watering Can
I find the watering can essiential in the garden for those flowers I may have missed or that need a little extra water. It really saves time. . . when I remember where I left it!

An Old Fashioned Love Song
A romantic compostion dedictaed to love. Love has never been out of style because it is the very fabric of creation. At least this is what I have experienced in my meditations.
I have tried to render this with a somewhat old fashioned look and yet present it with some detial and a little contrast and yet keep it interesting.

Reflections Of Shakespeare
This is a busy time for me out in the flower garden planting and doing maintenance. We had a very cool and windy day so it gave me a chance to bring in some of the lilacs for a photo shoot. A heavenly fragrance! Oh, the working conditions! :)

The Morning Paper
A concept image of all the ingredients of needed to start the day.
This particular image was the one I settled on which was the third shoot and arrangement. Lot’s of fun and I learned a lot. Most often drappery, cloth, or a paper is used in many still life works to help draw in the eye and or to add interest. This is my first implentaition using newspaper and I found it brought back memories of days gone past when looking for a job in the classified. In light of that I also added teeth marks on the pencil. :)

Fallen Blossom
A bit windy here in the Spring sending fresh blossom flying. This one landed in my hand as if saying, take my picture! A little texture and a little photoshop and I thought it somewhat worthy for the eyes of the world!

WALKING THE PLANK
I had fun doing this. I love mixing it up and having differnt styles in my various works.
In this, the clock and windchimes are actually suspended by fishing line while the shell is propped up. As for the crow, I brought him back (image) from a trip and placed him on the plank. Along with the addition of the crow I added the title of the image onto the clock along with reversing the image reflection of the shell for fun! Hope you like it!

Tropical Teacup
A tea cup of flowers with a little Topaz Impressions, textures, and layers in photoshop. I wanted the feeling of sky and water for the background for a balance of warm and cool colors and to give a light presentation as a gift floating upon a cosmic sea! I often have fun mixing an artistic look with what appearts to be realistic to our eyes.

TIME WARP
My impression of time. A good tool but an extremely bad master. Great for the illusion of duality!

Autumn Grass
The ornamental grass has produced their fall fronds in the garden. My wife and I enjoy their movement in the wind going from side to side as if conducting a musical symphony. The gentle sound of the waterfalls in the background, and yet a stillness at the same time, penatrating ones very being.

A Guest For Tea
A fun still life welcoming a guest for tea. There is much planning, arranging, and work setting up for getting the image in the mind’s eye, whether it’a a landscape, portrait, or still life composition. What I love about it is that it may be quite some time if ever, that our inspiration as photographers will be duplicated by a phone camera, or a pre-set button in a software program. Images by all passionate photographers and digital artists are truly inspiring to me.

The Time Keeper
We are ruled by time all or most of our lives. The creative people (you) know that it seems to slow down or even stop when we are involved on a project. Having practiced serious meditation for more than 4 decades, my experience has been that it doesn’t exist at all. Like the mind, it is a tool but a poor master! I hope you like my rendition of the false reality of time.
