Bamboo Tree

36in x 58in @ 300ppi; Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop; I've never seen a plant as impressive as the bamboo trees in Jamaica. This isn't the first piece I've done on them. I'm sure it will not be the last.

See how funny you are when you're wiped out. Sheesh! With fronds like you, who needs enemas? HA! See what I did there? Fronds? Get it? Oh all right. Fine. Be that way.

Great River

36in x 58in @ 300ppi; Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop; Every so often, I find myself returning to old photos of places I've been. I used to be so good about taking pictures all the time - i *really* need to nurture that habit a bit more. When inspiration is low, these photos help me find direction. Here - and the works that will follow this weekend - I went through photos I took of our first trip to Jamaica. I'm loving this style (would you call it abstract expressionism?) and am looking forward to exploring it a bit more. I really should have taken more art history courses. :-P
