The images you will find here are alterations of my artwork. This process is fun for me because it allows any idea that does not work to disappear with a click of the delete key. I select one of my painting stored on my computer and begin to play. I usually use Photoshop to start and just play with the image until something I can work with appears. Then I print it on photo paper. Artists, over time, collect all kinds of art supplies and assorted stuff that they like to call art supplies. I embellish the print using any combination of supplies until I find an image that I like. If nothing good comes of the effort, I simply drop that print into the trash and make another print of the painting and start over. No pressure.......no tragic mistakes and sometimes an altered masterpiece. I save what is in the trash to tear into what might be used in a torn paper piece some time in the future. It's a win-win endeavor and great fun.
