Ted's Gallery of Art Part # 4

This is a collection of art I've done for publication on the Internet.

Everything shown here has been painted digitally with an electronic brush directly on the computer screen, and is NOT a digitally altered photograph.

This digital painting began with a sketch from an old, small, b&w photo. Then I brushed in colours which I felt suited the era, the person and the attire. I wanted to try a background with this painting but my critic said " NO!" The final result pleased me though.

I did this picture for the "Donut Lady" who comes into the local restaurant every morning with her wares.

Had fun with this old b&w photo attempting to show some rust and some of the wild grasses on or about this old piece of farm machinery. The stark simplicity about this image suggests there is something there which should be recorded for posterity!!

I had to color this old b&w photo because it reminded me so much of that morning a long time ago. I awoke one morning when on a camping trip to see my daughter-in-law walking the beach at low tide, searching for her eye glasses which she lost the on the previous evening after diving into the water from a boat, at high tide. The rest of the family went out to help --- and found ourselves looking for a crab wearing spectacles.

The Mickey II,
Here I am trying to depict the feeling of insignifigance I felt, alone at sea aboard my fish boat. To be totally alone, on unrelenting seas, yet full of hope to hit a school of fish before reaching the horizon, are a few of the sensations which come to mind.
