Art, photoart and Photography by me. Imagik = image magic. Magic is the effect that image-play has on me. I hope to share that. Images, eclectic, whatever turns me on at the moment. My creative play. To say it, cross imagination with magic.

Chicken painting (with detail)
Chciken painting (with detail), by Mary Stebbins Taitt. Click images to view larger. For Monday Artday.
Sorry, but I did not see this one yet I think I looked at the last post.... This chick make's me wondering: "is it a painting or is it photography?" That I don't know it, that makes it impressive. The soft pastel-colours match all very well, the pink, orange, and yellows, the whites stayed clear also.. The green background makes the picture really complete and that you choose to crop ( not a full chicken) the chicken makes it perfect!
Very well done, but is this chicken a painted drwing, or else? If its a photograph, the wow! this is relly confusing me...
Hi JoAnn, This is a smudge painting made entirely from a digitally altered photograph. The entire thing is then repainted with a smudge brush. It's "Photoart" or compositing, some people call it, but it is really kind of beyond that because I physically painted over it stroke by stroke. Sort of like the old "paint by numbers" except that I took the photo, I manipulated the photo, and then I painted over it, so it is all my work.

I am glad you like it. :-D Mary
Don't know if this image was purchased from you, but thought you'd want to know if it wasn't. http://stat.fsu.edu/~chicken/
