January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 27 Blocked View II

This is a close up of the blocked view. There is now construction going on that is blocking this view, See Post 7 Lost view.  I cropped in so close that the image was pixelated... I would really like to do this in a more abstract way.. its a bit trivial...suggestions welcome!!!

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # 26 Mineral Showers

These are no usual showers... these are heavy streams of sulfur and other mineral water.   This painting is from my imagination ... forgot to take photos there... You can stand or sit and direct the stream of hot water where you want a message... your head, shoulders,knees etc... There is also a cold stream of regular water for a refreshing shower.... not recommended in the winter months... There is a huge window facing the outside drainage pool... with all that steam who can see!!!

January 30 x 30 Challenge #25 Going Walking

January 30 x 30 Challenge  # Going Walking

I took a lot of geese and ducks photos... Luckily many were taken with my Canon G11 so I have good  HD raw files to work with for cropping and then blurring..First I crop the image to the size of the format. Then sometimes I make another letter to blur to see the main areas. Then sometimes I have to move stuff like the goose on the right was moved in closer.  This is a cropped version of three geese probably running away from me at the time.  I find the geese so human like with their expressions.  This was done with a sketch which I brush down with liquin then I sketched dry. See progress image...
