Painted Sisters


The longer I am in the wonderful world of photography, the more I realize how indebted we photographers are to painters. All the the principles of art, the rules of composition, color balance and aesthetic sense were worked out long before the first camera ever winked.
So, it is with great admiration and a strong sense of gratitude that I share my small contribution. What started as a photograph (above) was transformed into a rather endearing painting. As you may notice, the composition has been changed as well as the color palette and overall look. Working in Corel Painter, this image went through a half dozen stillbirths before coming into its own.
Hope you enjoy it.
