This abstract background is one of my experiments with gradient colors and layer blending modes. The texture was added by using the image hose on several of the layers. The purpose was to bring depth to the image. After I was finally happy with the results I painted a picture and used other techniques to push the background further into the background. Blur was one of the tools used for this painting. The finished painting was a result of my experiment.
Creativity seems to have always been a part of me. The desire to create images or make things with my own hands is important to me. Although I love creating with my hands, my creative side urged me to try out the new digital format of art on computers. I was soon painting images with a computer program. I love creating digital artwork with computers, but it is not where I first tried out digital artwork. It was on a WebTv unit using the online imaging tool called Image Magick Studios. This is a free site where people edit, create art, or composite existing photos. I call this type of art Imaging. I also love writing fiction. This comes from me making up stories in my mind to entertain myself. We didn't have video games to play.
