I just don't take to them myself. <BR/>Who knows, before my years are over, I may have generated some computer art myself!<BR/>I am glad for any value seen in these simple Photoshop abstracts. The main thing I mean about the old school art mediums like oil painting or pastels, is that light passes through layers, and returns to the viewer's eye. There is a 3-D environment that we (my little group of artist chums who post comments) recognize, and leverage in our works. <BR/>Of course, I don't know if anyone can ever see this in the jpegs on this computer screen.<BR/>Some PC geek out there will probably have a whole spin about CRTs and light emanating from the screen. And that's fine; it's a good thread of interest.<BR/>I totally thought about the 3-D aspects of the second one, but I continue to see it as a false note. The elements on the screen are 2-D, although different illusions may develop.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-83878602541836640392007-02-18T08:35:00.000-08:002007-02-18T08:35:00.000-08:00Hmm.

Perhaps it will become a tradition therefore! I am not sure what you mean by 'artists here'etc. Don't quite understand why you posted these 2 pictures in the light of what you say - the second one looks quite 3-D to me btw.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068141700005383278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-21463990949229922632007-02-18T04:48:00.000-08:002007-02-18T04:48:00.000-08:00I thought you might like her Casey!I thought you might like her Casey!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-37075564540075797372007-02-17T08:33:00.000-08:002007-02-17T08:33:00.000-08:00Thanks for the question, Philip.I did some (well-l...Thanks for the question, Philip.<BR/>I did some (well-liked) pastel abstracts a while back, and I was applying some of that to these photoshops.<BR/>While I do like them better than the yellow ones that accompanied a previous van Gogh post, I am somewhere between dislike and ambivalent about them.<BR/>Maybe I don't like photoshop. I certainly am under-accomplished at these computer tools, and probably intimidated by them.<BR/>Photoshop abstracts are hopelessly, IMO, two-dimensional. As the artists here know, the traditional fine art painting and drawing mediums are not limited to the 2 dimensional plane, although they seem to be at first glance.<BR/>Maybe a good thread idea, eh?<BR/>I'll let someone else run with it, though, since I am too disinterested in computer art, myself.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-11554743621153061702007-02-17T02:26:00.000-08:002007-02-17T02:26:00.000-08:00CaseyHow do you feel about these photoshop images?...Casey<BR/><BR/>How do you feel about these photoshop images?
