Background Check

Since I've learned how to create backgrounds of my own I no longer need to search for "just the right one" on the internet. I'm a real show off of this accomplishment but it does feed me with pleasure. Here are the ones I've made recently. Oh! The options are overwhelming! 

Creative Project

I have finally reached the achievement of creating my own backgrounds with an old application I have —"Art Rage Lite." It really boggles my brain to experiment with creating my own colorful backgrounds and the possibilities are numerous. Here are two that I made this morning and after that are photomanipulations I put together yesterday with the first of my new backgrounds. This is fun for me. No cleanup messes either like I'd have with actual artist supplies!

Oh, such possibilities!

Playtime

I sure do love fooling around with digital images. I don't own or use a Smart Phone so I work at my laptop. My large screen computer system is too outdated to use now for this work. Darn! It has the best sound system too!  I use only the free applications "out there" but have mastered several. Sometimes I finish a creation in one application and then take it to another and try out more features. It is challenging, relaxing and enjoyable for me. There are hundreds, no - thousands of options and sometimes my results are not good; once in a while they are exceptional and I feel it. This kind of artwork is not for everyone but in my small workspace it is easy to cleanup after a day of my kind of art. As you can see, I LOVE color! CRAZY color! My subject today is the granddaughter of my lifelong friend who isn't here now. My friend and I used to get together in her basement and drink wine and do REAL paintings with oils on canvas. Those were the days!

I created these yesterday. (no wine)

Even the original (below) has been altered a little bit by me first.

Day Off

I took a day off from baking and just played with my pictures yesterday. I really am procrastinating the start of making an apple head. Now that the creative juices are somewhat satisfied, the apple will be carved later today. I'm blabbering but it sometimes feels good to blabber! So....

Over the Hill

...but still standing!  As of today I have made a total of 1111 photomanipulation "creations" since 2008 and that doesn't count the ones I didn't keep! I do not have any programs or applications other than the ones that came with my computer, but do use the free ones on the internet. 

It is very relaxing to make these but I could not really tell or show you how because I jump from one to the other and back again. 

Here the three I made today from some of my older photos. 

"Eight"

"Mailbox"

"Vacant"
