You can see her eye in the upper left corner and tears spilling from the eye just out of view. She looks over her shoulder grasping a red flower, crushing it’s leaves in a grip of longing.

Mystic Ivy- she does not hide secrets. This woman of mystery withholds her jewels (strength, passion and zeal) for causes and for persons worthy to behold them. Behind the mask is a gift.
Mystic Ivy (in colour) is available in print via PayPal and on Redbubble.
In black and white she is available only through this site via PayPal.

I never understood a person obsessed with cats until I got one myself. Now, artwork with a feline theme is common for me. Three of my girlfriends have a tortoiseshell, all female, all quite large cats as cats go. The same day I shot Rough Terrain I shot pictures of Tortimeister (seen above) with anticipation of handing over a nice photo to a friend. I was disappointed with the turn out of the photo itself but Picture It Publish It came to the rescue again. So here we have pretty bad shot turned into pretty decent artwork. Gotta love it.
Tortoiseshell In Sepia: A Gift
Art by F. Magdalene
Her hair was wet. The wind was blowing. Conditions weren’t great for shooting pictures. I uploaded what appeared to be photos I could work with but what I got was nada. I couldn’t print anything off but I could add color, a few PC effects and viola Rough Terrain.
I know I made that sound easy 1-2-3 and a painting appears. It wasn’t quite that easy but once a person gets the hang of Picture It Publish it or Photoshop Pro even the worst photos can become great pieces of art.

The original image is a photograph of a friend sitting against a tree with me shooting down at her. She’s looking forward. The photograph is black and white but as I started making alterations I thought it might look neat to have rays of colour as bark.
Title: Girl With Glasses
By F. Magdalene
The model was told to keep her glasses on because I know her as a woman that wears glasses. To take them off for the camera would be to photograph a totally different face. I wanted to photograph the face that I know.
