500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #375 – Moon 12-007a
Moon 12-007a Imaginings from what is perceived: I obviously played a little with exposure and vibrancy here. I feel this would make a great hallway mural, but I tend to enjoy a creepy in my environment. What inspires an artist? “All they see” is the first and most literal answer. For me, that is several … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #375 – Moon 12-007a

Moon 12-002a Imaginings from what is perceived: The fun of black & white is all about the old monster movies for me.

Halloween 14-002 Imaginings from what is perceived: This odd decoration sits on the tree and always seems out of place. I blame the Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
