Anna Livia Pleurabelle

I've been away in France since I last posted an image here and at present I'm back in Ireland in my summer place in Wexford by the sea. The weather has been fantastic for a change and I've been working on commissions. Here's one I finished this morning. I've called it Anna Livia Pleurabelle after a character in James Joyces famous book Finnegans Wake. Shes the queen of the River Liffy which flows through the centre of Dublin dividing it into North and South.

 

Ive lots of photos that I should be working on but all this sunshine is so distracting. Best weather we have had in seven years ;-)

 

I'm planning a workshop in November on the use of layers and textures. If you look closely at the fish above you'll see that all those fish are just several layers of the same fish which I have decreased and increased in size ad placed around the image after transforming them in direction and size. It was originally an orange goldfish and I changed the colour to that electric blue to make the image more cohesive and to make it pop. I happy about the way it turned out and if you want to see the original image you can check out my blog where I will post a before and after of it

 

Have a BEAUTIFUL day :-)
