CONCERNING ORIGINAL DIGITAL PAINTINGS

(MY HOBBY)

I like to create original digital art or original digital paintings from photographs.  I kind of think, that if you are going to do digital paintings, they should be digital paintings.  I don't understand trying to make your work look like oil paintings or watercolors.  But each to his or her own kick.  Below is a work in progress, which I have to finalize when I get a chance.  It started out as a photograph, but the colors are now more saturated and more like a fall scene really feels to me.  Or, maybe as I visualize it.  Anyway, it is not a photograph anymore, and the difference pleases me. The point of this page is to show a work that is definitely a digital painting and not one trying to look like an oil or watercolor. 

I am not stating this very well.  Hmmm-- At max zoom, look closely at the details in the green bark, the white birch, and the sky in the two upper corners.  It would be practically impossible to achieve that look or detail with either oils or watercolors.  You just can't do that with brush generated art.  At half zoom you will see the whole image as if it was 30 inches wide, and at full zoom, 72 inches

I am certain that there will be a greater perceived value for a digital work that is obviously digital, as opposed to a digital work that is trying to pretend to emulate something else.

Note:  At the higher zoom levels it takes the image a few seconds to sharpen up.
