Pearls from the Deep - Fractal ArtPerlas De La Profundidad - Arte Fractal

This fractal like the previous fractal artwork, was very simple in as a fractal, but after a few hours of post-processing, It is attractive. This one makes me think of pearls turned into a bracelet or necklace. I tried to add some texture, lighting, color, etc. in post-processing.

Pearls from the Deep 1

Esta obra de arte como la anterior, fue bastante sencillo como fractal, pero después de procesar la imagen algunas horas se me hace atractiva. Agregue color, textura, y luz. Me hace pensar en una pulsera o un collar hecha de perlas.

Focal Point - Fractal ArtArte Fractal - Enfoque

Here's my second fractal artwork,Focal Point 1. This abstract work is to make you imagine light traveling in space with the focal point as a distant star, but if you imagine something else, that's great too! :-)

Focal Point 1

Here is the original fractal generated by software with my settings.

Growth 1 - Fractal ArtCrecimiento 1 - Arte Fractal

Last night, I decided to try again with fractal art. Fractal art is made with fractals which are generated on computers using very complex equations. The first time I tried, the images I made weren't any better than the default, so this time instead of trying to learn how they work I'm just changing settings until I like something. After I save my fractal image, I open it in Photoshop and I process it as if it were one of my normal photographic artworks.

Two Birds at Sunset

I made this artwork  inspired by Sue's challenge to make visual art from what you see out your window or from your doorstep. This was very challenging indeed because I'm surrounded by low income cinderblock houses not gardens and green lawns, so I had to either show you what little sky is visible or the sidewalk cracks :-) I'm sorry to disappoint sidewalk lovers :-)

Fantasy Fairy in the Woods 1Hada en el Bosque 1

If you're a regular reader, you know I love to experiment and stretch my abilities and subject matter.  Considering how I haven't tried anything really new for a few weeks, I started this fantasy fairy image last evening and you'll see the most up-to-date version here.



This is my first attempt at anything fantasy or at drawing wings so please, if you don't like it, add a comment with a specific suggestion to improve it (give steps!). I used Photoshop for this, but I have Painter too.(lo siento, aun no no hay traducción para esta entrada)

Wet Impatiens Flower Una Flor Impatiens mojada

I took this photo several months ago, but due to lighting problems I never used it until this morning. I only spent about an hour working on it.

Esta foto tenia guardada por varios meses por defectos de la luz pero el día de hoy decidí que ya.

A Cute Little Squirrel Becomes Art!Una Ardilla Se Convierte en Arte!

I saw this cute squirrel near the Niños Héroes monument in Chapultepec park on the same trip when I went to the zoo. Yes, the zoo is in the park.   I made two versions. One for fun and the other for others to enjoy (the simpler one).

Black Swan 1 Pond Ripples Artwork Arte de Cisne Negro 1

Sometimes you take a photo and you just wish and hope that you can do justice to the real thing. Cameras rarely take a photo as good as the eye can see. The photos of the black swan I took is one of those cases. The black swans were glorious! Here is the first of my favorite two. It took several hours to edit, but I think it was worth the effort.

Black Swan 1 Pond Ripples Artwork

Here's the original photo

A veces solo deseo poder lograr una obra de arte que pueda parecer a la realidad de la naturaleza ya que la cámara nunca realiza una foto igual a la vista. Intente con esta la primera de dos imágenes de un cisne negro captar una fracción de su gloria y belleza.

Yellow-Footed Tortoise 1 ArtworkArte de una Tortuga de Patas Amarillas

This is my second artwork from my Zoo visit on Thursday afternoon. I completed it late last night so some of you saw it first on my Facebook Fan Page. If you haven't already don't forget to be my friend and fan on Facebook to get all the latest news and comments regarding my visual art and artistic photos.

I was very happy to take the photo of this beautiful yellow-footed tortoise. It practically posed for me and observed me taking photos of it. If it weren't so majestic a creature, I'd find it creepy that it posed better than many humans!

Yellow-Footed Tortoise 1

Here is the original photo for comparison so you can guess what I did in post-processing.

Esta es la segunda obra de arte de mi visita al zoológico el jueves. Espero que les guste la tortuga de patas amarillas.

Estuve muy feliz sacar la foto de esta tortuga. Fue un modelo excelente hasta que me observó con interés.

Spider Monkey in Movement 1 - Wild Animal ArtworkMono araña en movimento 1 - Obra de Arte

Yesterday afternoon I went to the zoo. Although my camera has poor zoom, I was able to get a few decent photos and more to edit. Unfortunately it was unseasonably warm with clear skies. As you might know, outdoor photos are best taken on cloudy days.



Here is my first artwork or as I like to say artistic photo from yesterday's zoo trip. The challenge here was to make it attractive since the spider monkey is behind a glass wall and the rest of the cage is an ugly wire mesh. Also I noticed that it looks like the log in the original photo appears to be coming out of its behind instead of ending at the cage so I edited out the distraction and the cage background.  The other problem is that the spider monkey was going the wrong way so I turned him around

Here is the original photo so you can compare. :-) Don't forget to comment!

Ayer me fui al zoológico y aunque me hace falta acercar bien a los objetos lejanos, logre sacar unas fotos buenas. Como un reto personal decidi hacer arte con los monos arañas aunque el sol estaba fuerte.

Aqui es mi primera obra de arte, o sea foto artistica de mi paseo al "zoo".  El reto es hacer atractiva la foto aunque esta atras de vidrio en una jaula de alambre. Aparte hay elementos como el palo que parece salir de su trasero (les aseguro que es! las fotos engañen). Finalmente tuvé que voltearlo para mejorar la imagen.
 ¿Como ven?

Ocean Waves - Turquoise and Sea Green Kaleidoscope or Geometric art

This morning I was inspired to design some kaleidoscope artwork using colors in a painting of ocean waves on the coast of california. Beautiful and powerful at the same time.

Abstract Blue Petals Kaleidoscope Artwork Calidoscopio Petalos Azules

Here is the other artwork from yesterday that I decided to keep. Blue petals Kaleidoscope is what to me looks like a very abstract version of a blue daisy-like flower. I made the "petals" extra shiny.

Shiny Blue and Orange Kaleidoscope Artwork Calidoscopio Azul Brillante

Yesterday, I spent all day, and I  only made two works - here's one of them. It is funny how that happens. Sometimes you'll struggle to get anything at all and other days your only limitation is the speed of your computer or internet connection so when you laugh and wonder why I even bothered to post them, just think that I'm sharing the effort not the actual artwork. :-)

Orange Starfish Blue Ocean Kaleidoscope Art 1

Here's a view of this design on a tie at Zazzle.

Green Stripes Kaleidoscopes Geometric ArtArte Abstracto y Geometrico Tipo Calidoscopio de Lineas Verdes

In this post, I wanted to share my favorite green stripes kaleidoscope artworks.  I was inspired to make them by looking at some photos I took a few years ago and I really liked the colors on a shirt in one photo. After enhancing the contrast and a few other tricks I had a pattern to play with.

Green Stripes Kaleidoscope Art 5

This is one that especially appeals to me. I guess I just like the shape more. Perhaps you'll understand why by looking at it.

Here are three others I thought were nice.

En esta entrada quise compartir mi arte favorito calidoscopio de lineas verdes. Fueron inspirados por los colores de una camisa en una foto que tomé hace unos años.  Aumente el contraste y algunos detalles mas. Luego luego estaba jugando con las formas geométricas.
