Still working

As usual, not posting new images and not creating new images are totally unrelated. I've been working on photo based art images fairly steadily in the past few months, I just forget to share them. Mea culpa (getting to throw in a bit of Latin always elevates a situation.)

Thinking ahead to tourist season in the local stores that I supply, I've been revisiting some of my classic grain elevator images. Each version gets a number of different treatments in Photoshop as I work with it, something that is both a blessing and a curse as I can get very far down that rabbit hole. I've got a list of "new" elevators I want to shoot in the next few months, road conditions and weather permitting. As is common with my work of this type, the elevator and the background never met in real life.

Raven's Guidebook

Here's a new photomontage titled "Raven's Guidebook", combining my own photos with vintage imagery and a touch of distressing. I just delivered a mixed media version of this (ready to hang, mounted on a cradled art board with encaustic medium overlay) to the Saskatchewan Craft Council Affinity Gallery (Broadway Avenue, Saskatoon) for the ongoing members' show if you want to check it out. The show continues until August 29th, but note that as pieces are sold, they get taken home by the purchaser on the spot, so this one might not still be around if you wait. 

Looking for some green--

With the endless winter we're still enduring, my artwork, if not my yard, has turned to thoughts of green. This is one of a series of new Boxer images I have done in the past few months. Check out my Fine Art America website, "Dogs" gallery, to see more.  http://1-judy-wood.fineartamerica.com/ 

I have also created a new "Wildlife" gallery as well. 

All my part of the proceeds of sales from the "Dogs" gallery on this website go to Boxer Rescue Canada. 

Rescued

Here's a brand new addition to my dog themed art images, title "Rescued". It features my own rescue Boxer, Rony. Check out the "Dogs" gallery on my Fine Art America website for more dog art. My share of the proceeds from all dog gallery sales on that site go to Boxer Rescue Canada to support the excellent work they do. 

The old homestead

I've been working on creating a body of work for upcoming sales, of which I have two in June (Waterfront at River Landing near Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon on June 9th, and Bazaart in Regina on the grounds of the MacKenzie Art Gallery, June 16th). Some of these are also available at the Black Spruce Gallery in Christopher Lake. 

This is an inkjet transfer image on tumbled marble tile, 6" x 6", one of my Prairie Heritage themed series featuring old buildings photographed around the province.
