I'm toying with the idea of restaining the cabinets and floor (floor is same color wood as cabinets) a darker color. I'll update here when painting is complete and have a vote on stain color for cabinets and floor.  :)

Here are some before pictures so you can see the transformation.  :)

This is another painting I finished yesterday. The image itself was very boring, so I gave it a Monet feel.

This is the entrance of the Wortham subdivision, where I live. I captured this image in 2003 at night when there were no cars. The street lights created a beautiful tungsten feel. I decided to paint this in the impressionist style, giving it the impressionistic coloring, but keeping with the tungsten feel as well.

Used dramatic Rembrandt lighting and tone for this dramatic image of my daughter.  I really love this image.  I still have yet to get it printed.  One day soon, and I'm going to hand embellish it as well.  :)

This was in my earlier stages of Corel Painter.  The original was just an infrared image, and I took it into Painter and hand painted color to it.

Not my absolute best work, but it was fun and it turned out okay for my first try at adding color to an entire image.  :)

As everyone knows, this blog and site used to be for my portrait business, but I have since turned it into my personal art site, and given my portrait business a new name and make-over.

I can't wait to get started on this one, as it is my biggest passion.

Hope everyone enjoys the new blog and site, and I'd LOVE to hear from you!
