Above the Fruited Plain – an “America the Beautiful” rendition in Digital Art.
As a foray into abstract digital creations based on some of my existing photographic themes, I offer up the following.
Travel through the mountains of the east coast provides some spectacular images during the transition from light to dark and dark to light, that is dusk to dawn or sunset and sunrise. It is not always possible to be there in person at exactly the right time to capture the scene photographically but it is possible to re-create Mother Nature’s beauty in a digital form.
Colors can be digitally rendered to re-create a scene as it may exist in memory – or in imagination. The shapes themselves can be blended and smoothed to create an “abstraction” of the original
These scenes do not have an exact, or a real, location because they are digital creations (and might have been done anywhere). However, YOU can decide to place them in the Ozark Mountains, the Smokies, somewhere in the Appalachian Chain or anywhere you envision them to be.
Artificial Intelligence as an aid to creating art…
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the art world is a rapidly growing field. Computers can now be used to create works of art that not only look aesthetically pleasing but also generate meaningful conversations about the nature of human creativity and its relationship with technology. AI has opened up a whole new realm for artists who, until now, relied solely on traditional forms of artistic expression.
Artificial intelligence has allowed us to create some incredible pieces of art. Many of the world’s most celebrated artists are now using AI to explore a variety of styles and techniques in their work. While I am not a “celebrated” artist, I did deem it necessary to explore the opportunities for my own creations. My “Purple Mountains” did originate as one AI-generated piece but they required digital manipulation to get them to appear as I envisioned. I spent as much time in post-production as I do with many images I download from my camera. Maybe more…
These pieces are available as wall art (on a variety of substrates) and/or printed on a selection of home decor items.
