My daughter got me some roses for Mother’s Day this year, and I decided to work a little digital magic on them to create this Flower Digital Sketch for My Digital Sketchbook.
I love that photos and art can still bring me the sunshine and warmth I felt when I received the flowers to begin with!
I’ve always been a fan of Angelina Jolie. I have painted her portrait a couple of times already, but today I felt like doing something digital So I created something new for My Digital Sketchbook.
Such beauty she has, and such unmistakable features. It was fun getting creative with her portrait!
I was out in my yard snapping some photos of the peonies, which are in full bloom. They are one of my absolute favorite flowers and I seem to photograph each year’s blooms. This evening I took one of my photos and created this Peony Digital Sketch for My Digital Sketchbook.
Believe it or not, this was a photograph of a white peony when I started. I wasn’t in love with the original photo, but I am indeed in love with the digital sketch I created from it. Yay for peonies!
I’ve created another piece for My Digital Sketchbook, and this one is based on photos I took of my grandson’s sunflowers a couple of years ago. I love playing around with photos and turning them into something different.
Something about sunflowers just says Sunshine! I love them.
I was in a Michael Jackson mood this evening, so I created some new Michael Jackson Art. This time it’s from the History era, from his short file, Ghosts.
I love that short film. You can watch it on YouTube if you’ve never seen it. I sure wish they’d put that out on DVD one of these days. So much work and creativity went into its making. It was co-written by Stephen King, and it holds the Guinness World Record as the longest music video, with a full running time of 39 minutes and 31 seconds (although the version that ran in regular rotation was a pared down version of a little over 4 minutes. You really have to see the short film in its entirety to appreciate it! If you have never seen it, check it out sometimes. 
I created another piece of Michael Jackson Art for My Digital Sketchbook. It’s an ode to the magic of Billie Jean.
This piece features Michael performing Billie Jean during the Thriller era, with his trademark fedora, sequin jacket, and white glove. I still remember seeing him perform this on the Motown special so many years ago…when he moonwalked on TV for the very first time. It really was magic. And I remember the first time I saw his Billie Jean short film too. Always the showman. Always the music legend.
