Floral Anatomy

OK, I got bored, I need colors. Even though this graphic journal of mine was supposed to be all done in black and while but somehow I just felt like some colors was needed. Anyhow, I thorough enjoyed making this piece and the automatic placement of things just felt into places the way I either intended or by accident but visually it all came out quite fittingly. For composition, I usually do not force myself to doodle up a composition prior to the making and processing of of my work, and so the process could be similar to that of the automatic writing, where I just watch the art unfold itself to me rather than the other way around.

Sustained Synthesis II

Over the weekend I had a chance to visit this arboretum near our house in Orange County in California. It is an arboretum open to the public all year around. I took a few pics. Later back I took those photos and re-synth them and this is what became of it. This might be an old sage still sitting there at the arboretum under a shade, or who knows, maybe an elemental spirit? Or just an impression that I got from the visit......

Mantis Transfiguration

OK, it's 1:23AM, and I think I'll comment on this piece some other time......
