Dark Angel - I Will Remember You

Back to creating my own stuff after completing the 15 Day challenge.  Did this one on my iPad pro with a lot of different apps.

15 Day Challenge Slideshow

So I decided to make a video/slideshow of all 15 images together.  I used iMovie to make the video - I know nothing about iMovie but somehow managed to make the video.  Full screen it looks awesome. Pretty easy and interesting - I need to learn more about iMovie. Something else to take up my time - good thing fall and winter are coming

And so it ends. I loved the challenges and loved having a theme for each image. I am ready to get back to experimenting and doing my own work but I really did learn a lot. I think I have learned to be more thoughtful in planning my images. I also learned that I like to have more time to refine and add stuff to my work before I post it. It has been a great 15 days! And yea that is me at lunch.

Flying - Even Angels Stop To Rest

Day 14 of Brook Shaden’s 15 Day Challenge

Flying - Even Angels Stop To Rest

The challenge was to make interesting wings.  I made mine with paint  and spatter.  I liked the idea of the angel taking a time out to rest a little before she flies off.  I do feel it was too easy to make an image of an angel - my first thought was a flying pig or fish but that will have to be for next time.  

Forgotten - Books

Day 13 of Brooke Shaden’s 15 Day Challenge

Forgotten - Books

Between Kindles, Nooks and Tablets people have forgotten about reading actual books.  The challenge today was forgotten using paper - so my book pages are the paper.  I could have used any reference for this image - newspaper, notes, cards, letters, etc. all forgotten in this modern electronic age. Created on my iPad. 

Pressure

Day 12 of Brooke Shaden's 15 Day Challenge

Pressure of Living Underwater
I had a lot of ideas for this challenge but not a lot of time to develop them. This was not my first thought but it is where I ended up. Sometimes the pressure just gets so great we need to escape what is confining us. Model - Pixabay.

Diversity - Herbs

Day 11 of Brooke Shaden’s 15 Day Challenge
Diversity - Herbs
In an effort not to repeat myself or to rely on what is easy I decided to challenge myself today and create an image without a model. My other challenge was to create it on my iPad with some of the new apps I just purchased. This is a photo I took in the beginning of the summer at a nursery near my house. I loved the display they had set up. I wanted a painterly quality to the finished piece and I wanted to keep the feeling of the sunlight. I like to actually make my art so I do not like to rely on an app or filter to do the work. I like to manipulate with my Apple Pencil, make a number images in different apps and then combine everything. I really liked making this image and want to explore these apps more in depth.
