At first it was a copy of thickly painted oil painting, and I was getting frustrated at the great details in the original. So, I decided to let go and just doodle it. What came from it was a simple, even silly expression on the new face, that I am not sure was intended on … Continue reading Thoroughly Unimpressed
Subtler Thinking
A facial expression caught in time can move well beyond the moment to reveal some of the past and give a glimpse of the future. You, the observer, will decide the feelings that go along with the expression. I have a theory that if we got a hundred reflections on this expression, we would get … Continue reading Subtler Thinking
Subtle Thinking
Doodles and sketches inspired by the endless cornucopia on Pinterest has become a joy for me. I decided to let go of my terrible self-criticisms and let the ink brush transform the source materials and inspirations into whatever it is meant to be in my hands. While editing the image to share, I find myself … Continue reading Subtle Thinking
Rough Selfie In Anger
Dark moods are occasionally hard to control and I've been swimming in one hell of a dark mood lately. Talking about it isn't giving the relief. Working out isn't either. Writing helps momentarily. I just feel really heavy in my heart and feel angry about not getting out of this mood. This doodle feels close … Continue reading Rough Selfie In Anger
Painted Sky
The clouds swirled around some unseen source.Not sun, not moonSome light hole in the sky. It took a fraction of a second to see it dissipate after I caught it. When I brought the image into photoshop, some of the swirl had magically evaporated and left behind hints of this aquamarine sky. See More at Arts M.Perron

Sunrise almost always inspires my creativity. The framing of this one was I'm portent, as I was taking random shots from across the street and found myself frustrated by the signs of human presence: houses, electrical wires, etc… While cropping to get the framing right, I saw more than my original attraction tin to the … Continue reading Watercolour Sky
Textured Sunrise
The tension is all in the texture! I kept playing with detail, definition and focus. On the camera, I could tell there was something to see in the trees themselves and it was making me anxious. The blessing of poor eyesight has been that I need to trust my instincts and grab shots that feel … Continue reading Textured Sunrise
Stained Glass Sky
This shot was originally taken at sunrise. The silhouettes of the trees played a fun contrast against the redness of the sun. When I played with saturations, the redness of the sun painted the whole sky this gorgeous blue. In the close-up you can see that the slightest wisp of cloud also got highlighted in … Continue reading Stained Glass Sky
Red Sky Morning 1
"Red Sky in the morning, sailor's warning" Isn't that how the saying goes? There is a strange tension between the bands of colour in the sky and how the silhouetted trees contrast with them. I played a lot with this image and found it increasingly painterly. Something similar to a group of Seven styling. See … Continue reading Red Sky Morning 1
Nature’s Wonders
The tree outside my front door gives us endless joy and beauty. from the sounds coming from it to the endless colour and light plays that shine through it, from day to day, and season to season. Here we catch the remaining deep-green in the shadows under the flames of fall colours. The colours are … Continue reading Nature’s Wonders
