I know that I improvise using this bird on a rail a lot. I relate to this bird looking out into the horizon. I want to know what he or she thinks about or dreams of flying off to do. This is multi-layer digital collage combining several images in unusual ways.

This is the same series as the last two posts. I used the same images I used in the first two but layered them in different ways, and then put a bird on it just for fun.

Another "Raven Interlude." I'm enjoying finding out what I can do with wallpaper samples and other decorative and hand-painted papers I recently scanned into my computer. This would probably be called a digital collage. It's made with multiple layers and multiple layering effects.

The "Raven Interludes" continue. This series is allowing me to explore new ways to combine digital with painting-like effects. I recently scanned a large collection of handpainted paper, wallpaper, and other decorative papers of all sorts that I have been collecting for 20-30 years. I used to use them in cut-paper quilts but now I'd like to collage them into paintings, at least digitally. This is one of my first forays into this kind of work. It's fun for me to see the handpaints in the bird's feathers and in the fence rail. The background combines multiple photographs with digital painting effects.

I call this one "Dreaming of the Bower on a Cold Rainy Night." It is a digital collage with some of the images transformed into digital paintings and others layered with multiple effects in Photoshop. It's been fun going through my stash of bird photos I haven't known what to do with. I'm enjoying this new series very much.

"Raven Greets the Day." This is a digital collage with pieces layered with multiple effects in Photoshop. I'm combining images altered to be digital paintings with maps and unaltered photographs including the trees outside my bedroom window. I'm not sure whether that's the moon behind the raven or the sun coming up in an overcast sky. Dark and mysterious for October.
