Feeling Groovy

Groovy Pic, originally uploaded by lostaussie.

I've recently become enthralled with Illustrator, as much as Photoshop and as I am also thoroughly "into" the retro look, playing with the Groovy flower thing seemed like a natural place to go.

I should be busy designing stamps, but there is something to be said for Flower Power and the enjoyment of being back in front of my own computer again.

Well I am back safe and sound in the Northern Hemisphere. Travelling is not much fun these days...

Anyway, despite all the recent dramas and some trepidation at visiting, I had a good time in London.
This is a composite of a few of the pics I took while I was there.

This is the helm piece on the Brig Amity by the foreshore in Ablany. She is really rather lovely...probably has a name. I'll have to find out.

Enjoying the last of a sunny day with the boys down by the Brig Amity.
They go back to school this week and I will be heading back to the other side of the world - yep..sniff sniff.

And here's another... this one though seems to speak to me of London and my contemplations at being there sometime next week.

When I can snag five consecutive minutes on my son's computer I can feed the pixel fever. I dont think there is anything deep and meaningful in the recent uploads with heads floating about the place - though you never know!!

Up a Gum Tree

Up a Gum Tree, originally uploaded by lostaussie.

The photo's of a tree snapped in the middle of Perth city a couple of days ago. I've Photoshopped it to change the colours and contrasts just for fun, but the orginal was taken on a clear blue sky day in the middle of winter. I've no idea why it has no leaves, as it seems to have the skin of a gum tree - strange but true.

Painted Lady

Ages ago I painted a whole bunch of smeary background stuff. Today I scanned it into the puter and used it to cut and paste fill the face.

Growth

The first day in ages where I did not have to rush off and do anything and it was wet and rainy enough for me to be content to stay indoors and "create" something.
