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.

0173 - 2025.04 Flower Patch (Four Leaf Clover)
I thought I could do a mass of flowers, much as one sees in spring time. It took quite a long time to draw all the little flowers and then colour them in. But when I stood back from all the work I re

In my rising clouds series I wondered if colouring the black and white print using different media would yield different results. Wax crayons These proved a little difficult to fill in precisely on t

I did this quickly to fill an old frame that has three windows in it. I’m not pretending they are great drawings, but they look quite nice in the frame together with my other three birds. (See 0166 a
