Photoshop vs Procreate

Generally speaking, you can accomplish the same things in each of the programs. Procreate is IPad based and so travels well. Photoshop is much better suited to a laptop as it requires more space. And of course, if you are after fine photo work, PS is the answer.  

I've been trying to achieve the look of gel printing but in a digital manner. Here is one of my first efforts. Even though it is quite simple, it is quite elegant. Watch this space for more of the same.

 

You Can't Step Into the Same River Twice

The title of this artwork You Can't Step Into the Same River Twice is really a metaphor for life. Live in the present, the past has moved on. I love taking photos from on high, an aerial view. This top down view of a tree-lined river flowing is just that. 

It is autumn and the leaves are turning glorious shades of red, orange and yellow. Enhanced with stitching to represent tree branches adds a complexity to this piece.

I love it and felt it needed to be seen. And it will. It is headed to the Poway Center for the Performing Arts in a SoCal SAQA exhibit. How exciting is that!

This is a detailed view.
