EVERYDAY DIGITAL ART
Lino. Photography. An archive of images.
I’m exploring my creative side after a career with numbers, creating colourful digital images through various media.
Use the post and homepage #hashtags to filter by media, theme or colour - or just explore randomly.
Lino prints are hand coloured and then digitally enhanced for colour balance.
Photography is straight out of camera.
There is a smattering of other media. Etching includes drypoint and tetra pack work, and together with ink works are similarly hand coloured before being photographed.
I’m calling this Everyday Art because I don’t pretend otherwise.
To each image I have added context notes, creating a history of my work. Naming has year and month to give an approximate timeline to the work, so I (and you) can see how it has developed over time. The good and the bad (well, there are gaps in the sequence so not the truly awful!) are all included.
My digital art (and stories) has been moved to dbwords.quotion.co
I’m not on social media yet.

An experimental Lino print for seeing how the effect of distance can work. I colour the black and white print digitally - not my usual watercoloring - to see the effect, which is the bright print ab

Why go out into the cold night air to photograph flowers? A visit to the local fruit market brought a handful of subjects home. The same technique as for my night garden compositions, but done in th

I had the idea to do a Gymea Lily, noticing many of them coming into flower while walking the dog. This was a quick sketch to get my mind around the idea of what I may do. The original sketch (below)

This was an arrangement by my wife on the dining table. It was too nice not to do a Lino cut print. I have an A1 sized poster of this on the wall of my stairwell. It looks great! #lino #flower #red

I was thinking of a design that could be printed onto a cushion cover or a throw - something bright and abstract - and continuing the idea of a black background. I did a few cuts on lino and decided

A case here where the technical execution did not match the mental vision. It’s pretty enough in a bright colourful way. That’s all I’ll say. #lino #flower #colours

After my Lino design I thought I would try a drypoint version. The plant is on my garden, one of two varieties we have planted. It shows how the stamens open progressively for the honey eating birds

The grevillea has become my favourite plant and it took some time to work out a design for its oh-so-interesting flowers. They progressively open to release their nectar to the honey-eaters, maximisi

I decided to enter the local art competition and partly as an attempt to be noticed I did a Lino triptych printed the maximum allowable size. It was an example of go big or go home! Each panel is A2

After my first mountain, I practiced some more, playing with pen, ink and water colour. This is a selection, just photos of my notebook. #ink #landscape
