B&W Swamp


This is a photo I took last week at a nature center here in NJ.  I converted it to B&W - played with it a bit and added lots of grain.  I wanted a real grainy look.

Textures, bird brushes my collection.

This is not exactly what I envisioned but it is a start and different for me.

Fashion Week




Black rose, other flower - purchased from mischiefcircus

Background, textures, dress dummy, dog, flower drawing - all my collection

Edge Of The Swamp


Background image - a photo I took on Thursday at the Manasquan Reservoir environmental nature trail

Cormorant extracted from a photo by my friend and amazing photographer Garry Henderson

Textures - rainy background photo Gary Henderson and two other textures my collection

Moon and bat brushes - my collection

The original photo was of a very bright sunny day so I added an additional sky from another of my photos and I worked with a lot of textures to darken everything up. I love this bird photo - it is so amazing the feathers look like velvet.
