Troll under the Trees

\

Well yesterday, in the pursuit of happiness and the Australian Dream, I went for a drive to Lake Maquarie Gallery.

There I found a series of prints made by Australian Artists, who had allowed themselves to be overtly influenced by Japanese prints.

So I oohed and ahhed and was pretty mesmeirised. And even bought the book.

So, this afternoon, when I decided to do some scary trees, I revisited the troll under the bridge.

And this is what I found.

That the Artists who had visited Japanes prints had 'contaminated' my mind.

Well, I hope they had. :) Of course these aren't Japanes prints. But it was interesting to see the influence that they had had.

The small image above this text was the one I was in search of - as far as scary trees. But I still can't get it right!

Thank - you for looking.

One Tree Sun and Moon, Tarot Card Box

This is the landscape from the last image of Red Riding Hood. It reminded me slightly of a Japanese print. The bottom two images were on the path to the finished work.

 

I often ask myself what will I do with my finished digital work? Hmm. So we have a mockup of a Jewellery Box.... or better still a Tarot Card Box - then there would be something to go in it....

Please click for big and thanks very much for looking.

Red Riding Hood Atop Grey Wolfe

I think Red Riding Hood was full of suprises in the olden days. Why, for example, was she wearing a 'riding' cape? Of course the wolf looks like it is made of wood but that's something I need to explore.... Learning from k.h.whitaker, I put some pattern in. :)

Thanks for looking.

As you can tell, the surf was flat today. Please click for enlargements.
