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.

I sail at Northbridge. When the land was first opened up for housing a century or more ago a suspension bridge was built across a deep valley, later reconstructed as a concrete arch. There is no wate

0134 - 2024.11 Red Mountain
My notes tell me I was out of practice doing tetra prints, so I did a batch of them. Only one was worth showing and it was the smallest, about 6 x 8 cm on an off-cut. Isn’t that always the way, the

Not my best red mountain, though I liked it when I made it and it looks better in the flesh. This was a tetra pack etching then digitally enhanced. I did it for a charity auction. #tetra_etch #landsc

Another 1998 work rediscovered recently, this was trying to capture that first impression of going to the beach in Spring. No crowds, high clouds, the sun low enough to give the ocean a deeper shade

Inspired by my ‘Three Flowers’ that I did for charity (0164), I expanded the concept to five, and used the same colouring. It’s part of a set hanging in a nice brown frame at home. Technique: #lino T
