Keep It Simple, Sweetie.

I took the painting from It’s Never Just Black and White into my favorite program, Photoshop Elements and we did a little dance routine.

Once again, I see how very simple paintings can be layered into complex designs.

These are a few of them:

Just Say It

One

Both

Lit From Above

Faded Glory

These designs were built layer by layer, from that simple beginning to a more complex outcome. Sometimes the layering leads to greater sophistication, interest, attractiveness. Sometimes, the simple beginning was best. In a way, doing these things digitally let’s you hold onto the child, the one the whole thing started with.
