Lost in the moment!

I have a folder full of photo's I took of moments or scenery that have inspired me to be creative.
With the hope that I may produce pieces from them.  I started a drawing based on a photo of my Dog (Layla) playing in the snow.  I always feel great joy out of seeing her play when we are out on our daily jaunts.

So from this photo I got out my pro markers an began to play around with it, this then escalated into printing a couple print outs an playing with the shape.  From then on I was lost in the moment as the dog was when I took the photo.......

Has been a while since I have done any creative stuff due to moving out our house and then back in and decorating.  Anyhoo your here for the art not my life story.......

Here is my picture and my ideas I have developed from them.....

                                          Layla in the snow last winter.....

                      My Drawing from this, using elements from shapes of Laylas body an shadow
                      The rest of the images are photographs I took of the original drawing, with various effects
                      on my camera.  I will use these to develop further.

                                          Monochromatic Lost in the moment.

I love this colour scheme 

Cool colours

So from looking at the I can now create more ideas an hopefully this will grow into something big....


Here is the final piece of Art I chose to do from my ideas above. This is a mixed media collage with multiple layers of painting and drawing on top of the various textures.  It is approximately 20" wide by 30" hight,  I used an old kitchen board, which I cut to size and primed
