Maybe I shouldn't be so fussy about the images of my paintings that this little camera produces. I started exploring abstract about a yr ago, and the results weren't to my liking. I used to use an abstract background and place a figure or a face somewhere in it. I was thinking today, that I was doing that, not only because I love the face and figure, but to somehow ground the painting with a strong focal point. I'm still working to incorporate tension, space, a focal point, contrast in tone in a compostion that appeals to me.
Here's the circle again. I edited in Iphoto, which I've never learned until now. I pumped up the contrast. It seems hard to me to take a picture of a painting and have it look as I see it in reality. This photo re-editing of contrast doesn't show the visual depth of the tone and the surface.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Karen!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece, Jann. Looks "done" to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! What's up now is reworked from the original post. Somehow when I posted here, I could see what it needed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece here. I can get a sense of the depth and details with the enlargements. Must be even better in person.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Seth! . . encaustics look a little flat with my camera. Am starting tomorrow to take a photography class to learn how to use my new camera.
ReplyDeleteExcellent ...! :-)
