After a rather uneventful three day trip, we are finally home, safe and sound. The last few days have been all about emptying out the motor home, getting paper work together for taxes, and just generally trying to catch up on everything, and with everyone. The kitties seem to have fared well, they either missed me or not, cats are so sphinx-like, it's hard to tell. I haven't spent a whole lot of time in my studio yet, except to unload all my art supplies. The place is a bit of a mess, but I did stop long enough to make a birthday card for mom-in-love...
My main focus, now that we are home, will be to finish putting together my submissions for the Art-o-mat project. I am still trying to learn how to better leverage my art, but haven't had as much time as I would like to learn more about digital art, so I am using a bit of both new tech and old. Here is a raven I painted, and scanned into my computer...
I then reduced the size, printed it out and cut and added it into my finished piece...
The words at the bottom read... "Tempus edax rerum"...meaning; "Time devours all things"...which is a somewhat theatrical way of saying time marches on...
I will start posting some of the works I made during my travels. Until then, enjoy...
Been meaning to try the scanner...you have inspired me! So many new things to try <3

Do give it a try, Julie, you would not believe how many ways you can reuse some of your work. It is a very handy resource. Especially with figures and faces. They need s much detail, it is nice to get more use out of them. It is a great way to test a focal image on a canvas. If you make a mistake, you can try again without ruining a good background. I also use it when I draw, I scan and copy a sketch in black and white, then I hand color the copy. If I make a mistake, I still have the original, safe and sound.
