Experimenting with Inspiration


I'm continuing to experiment in different ways not just with my sketching, but with my watercolours, artist pends, etc.  I really like what I came up with here, although the photo still doesn't feel like it's capturing the colour.  I might have to try and get a new photo later, as I have too much to tackle today.

Anyway, Lori over at elvie studio continues to inspire me, so I tried to tap into a bit of her inspiration and this is what I came up with.  Well, two things, but I will post the other one later this week. =D

    One thing I have found with my photos is sometimes color tends to flatten in the camera. I downloaded PhotoScape (free) and in the color options it has Color Enhance, which brings color right back up to what it really IS.
    You might give that a try and see if your color doesn't suddenly come to life, like your art!
    Creating is so good for the soul! :-)

    XXOO~~

    I heard on the radio today that the last company making typewriters closed its doors this week. Imagine that - no more typewriters...

    Keep up with the experimenting. I find it's good for the soul.

    By the way - that quote was Shelley - but I'm sure somebody already told you that by now. One of our great romantic poets. I always have this mental image of him, Keats, Coleridge & Wordsworth lounging around all full of angst and spending too much time outdoors catching chills and consumption....
