New ABC Photography Images

This series began when I started creating images that didn't really fit into a specific category like the flowers or trees. That's when I had the idea to create a category that goes through the alphabet. As I create these new random images, I think the hardest part is to name them based on the letter I'm at in the alphabet. Sometimes the names just pop out and there's no real problem, but sometimes, it takes some thought to come up with a name to match the image. Don't forget that all the images shown on this blog are available to purchase as prints by visiting my Shop.

Just Around the Bend
     A nostalgic image of my son and Bruno as we were hiking at the lake. I watched them as they walked ahead of me and saw this image in my head (the sepia tone with distressed edges). I couldn't resist snapping the shot.

Keep Out
     People who know me will be shocked by this image, as I have a terrible fear of spiders. That fear, however, does not include their webs. I think spiderwebs are beautiful and a work of art in and of themselves. So long as the spider isn't 'home' I have no problem taking a shot of the web.

Look Beyond
     During the hike at the lake I saw this sight, the lake ahead with reeds, surrounded by the foliage of a tree. I knew this could be a great piece, but I was stumped when I started editing it. That's when I came up with the collage idea. I love to try new things and I like to offer a variety of image styles with my work so I thought this would be a good addition.

New Tree Series Images

I absolutely love trees, which is probably why I dedicated an entire series to just them. I really like these new ones, but then again, I like the old ones too. Don't forget, all the images shown on this blog are available to purchase as prints by visiting my Shop.

Tree Series - 13
     I loved the shape of this tree and the setting around it. I boosted the color some to enhance the greens and blues.

Tree Series - 14
     While processing this image, I tried this color scheme, thinking that I would just undo it and go on to something else. I do that alot when I am creating my digital art. However, I really liked the high contrast and vivid purples that resulted. I couldn't see it working as well any other way.

Tree Series - 15
     I loved the image of this tree as just a standard picture with no enhancements, but as I am an artist, I tried to play around with it to make it even more dramatic. I began trying all sorts of things and found many that looked good, but they did not work for the entire image. That is when I got the idea to split the image and (after a lot of playing around with where to make the split) this was the result. I really like how this one turned out and think it may be my favorite thus far.

New Flower Series Images

Spring is in the air and I have managed to capture some beautiful flowers that are springing up. Remember that all the images shown on this blog are available as prints by visiting my Shop.

Flower Series - 15
     A lovely sprig of Bluebonnets. The state flower of Texas (which is where I live) so I had to add these to the series.

Flower Series - 16
     I am not sure what type of flower this is, but I thought they were very pretty.

Tree Series Photography

I absolutely LOVE trees. I love the shape the color, the texture of them. Trees are all around us and they help us to survive and are just gorgeous to look at. This is why I have dedicated a Series to Trees. The first tree image I created was done for a contest that won of some notecards. I go to decide what I wanted printed on the fronts of these cards and I chose this tree image.

I love the vibrant colors that came out in this photo, the dark shape of the tree only enhances the image in my opinion. I have a total of nine images in my Tree series right now and intend to create many more.

Flower Series Photography

Flowers are just so beautiful and they are very easy to get great photos of. I have taken a few of the nice shots I've gotten of flowers and edited them up a bit to offer some interesting artistic flower prints. One of my favorites is of a Rose of Sharon that grows in my back yard.

I put a vibrant background behind the mostly pastel colors of the flower to give it more presence and to make it show up better. The vertical lines add a touch of modernization to a beautiful photo.

Due to the cold weather right now, I only have about 4 images in the flower series, but I intend to take a lot more once the weather begins to warm up and the flowers start blooming.

Farm Life Series Photography

Around Thanksgiving of 2009 I took a trip with my boyfriend to a farm that belongs to his family. I loved the look of the place and couldn't get enough pictures of all the interesting things that were there. One of my favorites was of this old tractor that had been sitting unused for so long that I tree grew around it.

I added a few things to this image after taking it, such as the moon, the sepia tone and the lighting. I thouroughly enjoyed taking images at this location and hope to go back sometime and get some more. I have a total of 9 images that I took here and edited, each one has it's own unique charm.

ABC Photography Series

I have some images that I find beautiful and interesting that don't seem to fit into a specific series. I call these random images. The first one I listed under this heading was my image Between a Rock and a Hard Place. The second image was this one below which I titled Approaching Dusk:

After naming this piece I realized that I had the first two letters of the alphabet, therefore I decided to create the ABC series, where I have an image title for each letter of the alphabet. I have only gotten 4 so far, and I'm not real sure what will happen when I get to a few of the oddball letters like Q and Z. If you are interested in looking at the ABC Series, then click the image below and you will be taken to the gallery where these are located.
