Jude’s Art Blog

I’m on my way out of town, but I can’t go till I get up a new post. It’s been too long. If one is going to have a blog, one has to post occasionally, if not regularly, right? So here goes.

And here is the other part of the picture. It seems each time I transfer an image from paper to Photoshop these days, I’m enticed with all the ways to crop. In this case, the two images, while halves of one whole, say something totally different to me when I look at them separately. What about you?

Much as I enjoy painting flowers, the inner space has an even greater richness of imagery for me. These are all portions of the same picture, starting with its central figures…

And moving in closer…

And now to one corner…

And finally to my favorite being, over in the other corner. As I see it, he is offering his gift to the heart…

From the garden of my watercolor class, that is…

Can you tell which of these irises (above or below) were drawn from real flowers and which from a photo?

Okay, now I think I’ve figured out how to post on this blog!
