Here is some #abstract #artwork I made using mobile pictures of everyday objects and apps on my Pixel phone during the month of December. I posted these pieces in stories on Instagram throughout the month as I created them and paired them with different music based on my mood or what was going on that day. They are archived in my Instagram Highlights. #Art is everywhere! 😍
Happy New Year 2022
Hope your new year is off to a good start. Here are my latest ICM abstract artworks.


















ICM Wednesday Whisper
I think this is my favorite ICM (intentional camera movement) edit so far. 😍


When I came across Debbie Smyth’s One Word Sunday’s prompt of “Abstract,” I couldn’t help but go through my archives and reminisce over all the photo art I used to digitally create. These days there are apps that do it all for you with one tap of the screen.
Boy, did I use to dodge and burn, cut and paste, mask and layer, and layer and layer and layer. And pinch and whirl, brush and overlay, multiply and screen, distort and blur. You get the idea.
Each piece began as a photo taken with my camera and then edited in GIMP, which is a free software program very similar to Photoshop from what I hear. I love it.
I did these years ago, and because our style sometimes evolves over time, I imagine my pieces would look different today…or maybe not. I may start experimenting again to find out.
This is for A Photo A Week Challenge: Dead Center. It is of the morning sun shine bursting through my burgandy-curtained window.
This is for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Abstract. I had these dumped out every where on my counter, but it turns out they look much cooler sitting in the container they came in. I dialed up the highlights during post-processing to give it more of a vibrant, artsy feel.
