Finally i am finished with this painting. the heat had me movin slow so it took longer then expected to finished this piece but here it is, hot off the easel. Now its waiting to dry so that i can sign it and apply varnish to it. Once i am all done with that i will take up-close, high quality detail pictures of it.
...with this painting i documented my creation process step by step and put it into a set.
I wrote a blog chronicalling the creative process with this painting from the first rough sketch to the last brush stroke. read about it here: lucidrose.blogspot.com/

Week #2 Square and Processing
Examples of different processing results. Depending on your experience, these can be done manually or with reset actions in image processing software (I use Photoshop).
(top left) Cross processing uses layers, contrast and variations in color balance to give a "yellowish green" hue to the image. You can do it manually, but Photoshop has an action (macro) that is simple and quick. I've used it on anything from landscapes to portraits in the past.
(bottom left) High Dynamic Range was processed using Photomatrix, a popular and proven application available online. Some cameras have in-built HDR options. Again, it can be used on a wide range of images and the intensity can be dialed up or down. Some HDR images are quite stunning but processing can also be over cooked (an HDR term!). Flickr is full with different results and it's up to personal taste what you prefer.
(top right) Black and white/Mono can be achieved by using fast and easy single click "GreyScale" or you can manipulate the histogram to isolate color bands and keep tighter control over the result. Curves can be also applied to control contrast.
(bottom right) Orton processing is a controlled blurring or softening of the image achieved by combining 3 layers in Photoshop. Again, it comes to personal taste to apply Orton to images. It can be applied over the whole image or used to soften different areas.
Enjoy...and good luck with your processing.
This building, which I saw for the first time over a year ago, is nothing short of miraculous.
So perfect and intricate are its colorful and varying degrees of decay, the fabric disintegrated to threads, the papered-over windows water stained and peeling, the rusted hinges, the empty places where windows once were.
It stands alone in a neighborhood of big white houses. Like a frail, naked old woman in a room full of hapless people wearing white tee shirts and jeans. No one will look at her, but she is as beautiful as she is delicate.

I love my Cuisinart Food Processor. It works really good and doesn't leak like my old Kitchen-aid one did!

"i pensieri seguono il filo sottile delle ore
lo spazio ingoia il resto.
(intanto
le partenze sono i piccoli drammi del quotidiano
ma basterà seguire il sentiero per fare ritorno)."
HDR : I've reworked an old image and also did a few ... er ... building 'alterations' !
Those of you who have been inside the tower at Margam Country Park will spot them with ease no doubt.
