A Walk in the Woods

Continuing to experiment with textures, masks and ephemera. The Greek statue was taken from a photo I took within Villa Kerylos in the South of France.

Justice

Sacre Coeur Facade

Venus in the Garden

A statue of Venus surrounded by a variety of tropical plants at Whitfil Nursery in Phoenix, Arizona.

Barcelona Theater

This building at the corner of Passeig de Gracia is home to the Cinema Comedia. I believe the building functioned as a palace at one time. Although this statue was in front of the cinema when we were there, I've since seen many photos which don't show the statue any longer, so perhaps it was only temporary.

The Master

Often regarded as the greatest artist of the Northern European Renaissance, Albrecht Durer was a skilled painter, engraver and printmaker at a young age. He was born in Nuremberg where this statue and his former home are located.

A Blessing

This image began with a photo of a variety of Saint Francis and other other garden statues taken at Whitfil Nursery. I added backgrounds Medieval music and old parchment paper.

Party Girl

I made another trip to the Whitfil Nursery today and photographed this classical statue draped in beads standing in front of a trellis. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm, and I was smiling just like the lady  in the photo.
