I enjoy using a camera to translate my visualization into reality on paper. Visualization is defined as the ability to see in the "mind's eye" the finished work before actual application. It is the creative process of images transitioning from the realm of the reactive and contemplative to the conscious and deliberate. An element of surreal gives the viewer a different perspective on the subject, removing the literal and getting down to the essence of conveying the energy of the subject. For me, the image begins when the work goes beyond merely representing reality and enters the realm of personal expression. My methods are meant to be intentional, whether in the camera or post processing.

A Dappled Garden Still Life



My eye was intrigued by the contrasting greens, yellows and the pop of purple dappled through the image. I really like the varying textures also. I decided to use the Glaze app again. It just seemed to be the right app for what I wanted to portray. I can visualize a painter and his easel with his palette and brushes enjoying a day of fresh air among the beautiful garden. And this image is the end result of the painter's rendition.
