Talented painter! Do you do any painting in photoshop?

Thanks for the comments on the silo transfer. I did tons of them when Polaroid was still easy to come by, so I apparently set a high bar for myself. That one, all I see are the flaws. Been ages since I sent anything in competitively. I've lost much of the films that I loved the best, so output has shrunk from me.Yeah, the computer is too much like work, and not the fun part of working with kids. A certain amount of documentation is necessary and finally we were able to scan in notes etc. but did they have to go overboard with it? yes, they did...
I like hands on better too, all those years of edible finger painting, etc. And chocolate, anything chocolate makes for a fine mess!
I like the original silo, with it being overgrown the transfer looks appropriately vintage and creepy and grungy. Maybe it was a happy accident to turn out differently than what you intended (which if you hadn't mentioned I wouldn't have known). I like it, I bet you could submit it to an alt process competion (although I've gotten things accepted, it's something of a crap shoot!). I think it's better than you think, there's some reason you saved it.
No harm at all, I wanted to see and I think @snowbear did, too. These are great! She does lovely work, great details. Details can be tricky with OP's, and she's nailed it. I love the sky in the top one.excuse the blurry iphone photos
I love the beta. She has done very well, indeed. Thank you (and her) for sharing.Don’t want to hijack your thread but someone asked to see Sophia’s artwork. Here are 2

Interesting - I'm guessing with lots of layers, the colored pencils build up a sheen, which would certainly look similar to OP's. Sorry she had to feel embarrassed (I can almost hear the gasps of horror!) but glad you posted her work. She has nothing to be shy about!Thanks she as both thrilled that you liked them (on the inside) and annoyed at me for sharing them (on the outside). She corrected me and told me the fish is oil pastels but the Motif #1 is actually colored pencils. She says they look like oil pastels when on black paper.
She was very impressed by Terry’s Van Gogh and the abstract portrait.
Thank you so much! It's done on paper, actually - 9x12" Arches oil paper. I haven't done anything using oil pastels on canvas - such a textured surface, it can eat up a lot of the OP stick.I'm impressed by all the paintings posted, and the photographs, too.
My favorite is the beach scene. I find it exceedingly charming and wonder what is the size of the canvas?
