Rough & Ready Creek, Oregon
My last photo shoot of 2016 was at one of my favorite places, Rough and Ready Creek near Cave Junction, Oregon. Pam Cone and I took a day trip up there a couple of days ago. I’d been talking about it for years. The temperature was a couple degrees above freezing. We were prepared and didn’t feel it. The day before, where I’m standing was under water. Great timing! There is high fog in this picture and the mountains in the background are obscured.
Happy New Year!

Well, this turned out gloomier that I expected. With half the country gloomy, I must have gotten infected. Once again, click image for larger version.
After much consideration …
A print of this is going into the holiday show at the Upstairs Gallery in Arcata. Hard to believe that there is 10 to 15 hours more on this image than the last.
Early Morning Hydrangea
Instead of baking for Thanksgiving, I’m working with backgrounds, textures, and lighting. I better get to the relevant work. As usual, click image for larger view.
Turquoise Tree Frog in Rose
This was a photograph of a green tree frog in a rose in my front yard that I converted to B&W. I then colored it with only three colors using the new glazing brushes in Corel Painter 2017. Turquoise had really been on my mind this morning, hence the choice of color. The overall image was a little flat so I added the luminosity and saturation of the original photograph to complete the transformation.
Birds Flushed from Corn Field
I’m taking a class about the new features of Painter 2017. Using several of the new features, I’ve turned a straight photograph of the Lion’s Head Maple in my backyard to this. Fun stuff.
