I really do like the effect of charcoal on some of the photographs. Monochrome of course aids in the overall effect. From simple pretty non-descript images there is always an art piece beckoning. Both of these would look fabulous printed in large on a canvas. The Giant Old Tree Captured at the Cairns Botanic Garden […]
Sometimes I like to create images with a positive and negative appeal. Here are just some simple small tree trunks that were silhouetted in an early morning glow.

There I was in this store, just browsing and admiring, yes more gadgets. But mostly to see where were decorator trends going. My creative juices are running dry.
