This is the same site that published my poetry.

The August 9 entry on that page has a link to my gallery. I'm kinda
jazzed :-)
I hope you enjoy them.

Wow, those are really neat! I especially like the Bad Hair Day
painting, because it looks like Andy Warhol with a D disposition. :-)

Congratulations!

I liked those drawings Deirdre. The acid sunrise was my favorite. How do you
do them?

I use a program called ArtRage -- I have the free version of the
original program. I checked their website and they have a new
version, and the professional one only costs $20 so I may get that one
of these days.

You select a tool -- brush, crayon, pastel, pencil, watercolor pen...
and a color... and a texture of the "paper" or "canvas", and just
start. There's an eraser, too. I like using blobs of colors and
blending with the palette knife tool.

I've done a few things using an actual photograph, and messing with it
<lol> -- there's also a tracing function for drawing a photo that's
"under" the "tracing layer". It's a lot of fun. I'll tell you this --
on the ArtRage site there are some AMAZING pieces done by other users.
I'm just a doodler. Check it out.

Deirdre, I checked out the site, but I was on the phone and couldn't respond
to it. I think this is wonderful for you! Congratulations and continue the
good work! (P.S. do you work in oils or acrylics?)

Neither <lol> -- these are digital drawings, using a program called
"ArtRage". No brushes to clean!

I posted an example of the use of the palette knife tool to Flickr.
It's pretty cool. I took somebody else's photo and 'sculpted' it.

http://www.flickr.com/

click "explore flickr"

find the search box -- type in it:

Deirdre1952

then click the arrow next to the word "search" and click on "Flickr
Members"

There I am. Click the link under my name for "photos".

All my photos will come up. To the right is a 'set' labeled
"Comparisons" -- click that.

On the new page, on the right, click on "view as slideshow". This will
give you the best comparison of the two images. All I used was the
palette knife tool which sculpted the pixels on the original photo.

See? Anybody can do this!

Enjoy -- Deirdre

Excellent, Deirdre! I didn't know you also made art.

I like "Acid Sunrise" and "_____(something) of Hope" the best. Sorry I
already forgot the second one's name! LOL.... *whistles* -- here, brain,
where are you, little brain.

Thank you so much, Anne! I'm not altogether sure it's art, but it's
something fun anyway.

PS -- "Brief Moment of Hope" -- that's for your brain, which is not so

Fantastic Deirdre!
Needless to say we are proud of you.
I like the Dusk one as it so resembles the rough monsoon sea outside my
house right now.
And the Sailing one.
I may try Artrage.
Hope to see more soon.
