Day 063: Tulips Impressionistic Art- Mar 4. Well - more digital play on another dreary weather day. Glad that I bought the tulips - they are cheering me up. This is the result of layering one copy of a tulip photograph on to of the other (same photo). One layer was painted in Simplify and one was not. Moved the top layer so that it was not in sync with the bottom and blended the layers. Thanks to those who commented yesterday with suggestions on sources for backgrounds. PS. I finally gave in and opened a Twitter account. I'm a total newbie at it. IF YOU ARE ON TWITTER, I'D BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD FOLLOW ME TO HELP GET ME STARTED. Will follow yours in return. GO TO GeoghanRPhotos. Thanks.
Day 062: Tulips in a Vase - Mar 3. Snowing, raining - just plain messy here. Picked up a few tulips this morning when I was in supermarket. Really want to learn how to use textures. Can anyone recommend a good place to get a few to start out - either free or inexpensive?
Day 061: Graffiti Memories - Mar 2. Came across this old graffiti in the cement columns of an underground garage. Not such a great photo opportunity but look close and at the top of the graffiti someone had printed Woodstock #1. The Woodstock Music & Art Fair (aka the Woodstock Festival or Woodstock) was a music festival billed as “3 Days of Peace & Music." It was held in New York’s Catskill Mountains at Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm from August 15 to 18, 1969. An audience estimated at more than 400,000 braved crowds, rain and mud in the outdoor venue to see and hear 32 acts or performers. Woodstock is widely regarded as a key turning point in popular music history and to have spurred the rise of the counterculture generation. Rolling Stone listed it as one of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock and Roll. No I wasn't there. I was a young mother with three young children then but I certainly remember the media attention that it received and the spectacular music that we all got to know and love.
