Flowers

I thought that I would show you something that I have been working on. I have been collaborating with Yvonne Gaudet a graduate of the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. She is an accomplished artist and teacher. I combine my photography with her paint. I start with photographs of flowers that I shot at Roger’s Gardens in Newport Beach. After manipulating my photograph in Adobe Photoshop, I print it on Epson velvet fine art paper. I had to purchase a professional wide format printer that uses pigment dye ink. After printing, it is painted with acrylics. I am so much better with a paint roller than a brush or palette knife, but I am really passionate about it and hopefully someday will paint.
