we went on a very short vacation in the east of our country, just to relax and refresh our (creative) energy. a change of scenery can do wonders for your spirit, especially during those last days of summer.
on our first day we visited Deventer, a trading city on the bank of the river IJssel that used to belong to the Hanseatic League. wonderful historic atmosphere, lots of interesting photographic opportunities.although i missed my three muses, i very soon found a new one gazing at me through a shop window.
like a siren she drew me in and put her spell on me, there was no way i could resist her......
on the second day we went for a short walk through the woods and stumbled upon this incredible impressionist view
decided to blend these two shots into a new image
recognise some of your own work in the background?
we also went to Zutphen, another Hanseatic city, where i literally ran into a brand new muse when i rounded a corner in a narrow alley
there was no way i could get around her, so i obeyed her command and took out my iphone.....
at the end of the day i managed to capture the last rays of sun bouncing off the top windows in one of Zutphen's ancient cobbled streets
merged together, these two shots produced this rather dramatic scene
i felt like a sailor instead of a tourist: a (new) muse in every port
and it is true, they can be found everywhere! they surface in the most unlikely places, sometimes only leaving some subtle traces of their presence....
I really like your layered photos here. yes, I do recognize one of my paintings in the background of one of them. I especially like your shadow with water and sun illuminated surface with and without the manikin super-imposed in the mix.
ReplyDeleteYes, I knew a video is made while you are using Procreate and I also found it pretty fun to save and watch it.
Cool stuff available in apps and I can see how you spend hours and hours just playing around, learning so much about how to manipulate photos, create amazing backgrounds, and spectacularly impressive and perfect 'girls'. I guess I like working in abstraction.
