The images in this section have all been painted by me using a graphic tablet. I use a range of software and techniques and base all the images on my own photographs. The idea of the paintings is to add the emotions and feelings I had when I took the images. They are created for personal gratification and to add imperfections created by emotion to what otherwise would be a simple snapshot in time. We do not see snapshots which are digital we see in analogue. Movements, emotions, smells, tastes, who we are with, our feelings at the time, the time of day etc etc all effect what we really see. Yes we create in the taking of the image by choosing compositions etc BUT this is still a static moment in time not a transition from a past moment into the future. I do not use AI as for me it is too sterile, more perfect yes but lacks emotional imperfections. Below is a simple example of the photograph and my painting of it……. For me this was about the light in her eyes and hands from the window of the church.
