Daffodil, Original Fine Art Digital Painting

Since daffodils are one of the first flowers to appear in the spring, this photo painting reflects a sense of renewal. When the daffodils start blooming—you know that spring can’t be far away. The contrast of the bright yellow flowers on the wintery earth adds an element of joy to the landscape. Bringing fresh cut daffodil flowers into you home is like bring in a little sunshine. “Daffodil in Afternoon Sun” is a photo painting that was based on an original photograph.

If you’re interest, you can purchase a print here. Each print is professionally printed on Kodak Endura metallic paper with pigment inks. This paper creates striking three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background.

Sheep, Original Fine Art Digital Painting

This beautiful photo painting is of a cheviot sheep. Cheviots have clean faces, wooly bodies and big dark eye—they look like sheep from beautifully illustrated children’s book.

On a snowy day in February, I traveled up to a fellow sheep breeder's farm in order to photograph her Baby Doll lambs. Snow in Georgia is kinda rare. She had a couple of Cheviot sheep--I breed that I had never seen. I fell in love with this particular sheep—she’s so elegant and regal. I think this breed is the perfect artist sheep.

Like most sheep—she not very excited to have a stranger paying so much attention to her. She finally posed while getting a treat from her owner. For those of you who also do photo painting. . . I’m experimenting with a different style of photo painting. I guess the best way to describe it is more organic.

Prints are available in several squares sizes.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
