Digital Art – Foggy Morning
This morning, on our side of the mountains, the morning was very foggy and misty.  I think it was actually some very low clouds, but the result is the same.  Bright sunshine on the other side of the mountains, and a great photo morning on our side!  I took some of the images I shot and made them into some digital art – take a look!
Along the Road
It’s finally happened.  My favorite deserted cabin, just down the road from where we live, has finally collapsed.  I am very sad about that, but even in collapse, the cabin presented a great photo image.  I think I will still get some great shots during this winter.  It’s not quite flat to the ground, and that lends itself to character type photos.  This piece also combined some paint type background, text and some special brushes, with Photoshop Elements blending tools.
In the Past
When I captured this image, I just couldn’t help but think of the past, and the people who lived in this little cabin in years past.  This cabin is in the small town of Stanley, New Mexico.  One of the ironic things about this town is that, at first blush, it sort of seems like there are almost as many deserted cabins as there are occupied buildings.  Thinking about the past, I decided to create some digital art using this image, a vintage postcard and some painting backgrounds and textures, combined with blending techniques.
Deserted Town
I’m still in Stanley and captured this image of 2 different deserted cabins….kind of like a little town of deserted buildings.  I tried to capture the feeling of old and vintage paintings, text, special brushes and blending tools.  Oh, and I also used layer masks in here – first time ever! – and I really like the effect of it!
Single Sapling
I really like this image, and decided to go with digital art for it.  I think I’ll also do some other technique, but I kind of like the line of the tree to the specialty stamp of the leaves in the upper right corner.  It’s complemented by music, a vintage postcard and some text from a very old dictionary.  It’s not the strongest of the digital art pieces, but it does hold a certain appeal to me.
Enjoy!
