To My Friends in Phoenix Artist Guild ... I give many thanks to the Board, the members, and the meetings that inspired me and others to actively participate in art shows, learning more about creating art, and improving my social skills while meeting and making friends. I want to thank you sincerely for being so generous with your time and caring to share what you know with others. Your souls are surely sweetened by your spiritual giving.
http://ymmartin.com/ART-awards-shows.html This is a web page on my web site where I keep a record of all the art awards and shows I have entered ..... This morning, I added the 2 entries that were accepted into the 250th Anniversary Veterinarian Show ... Once the paintings are hung in the gallery and the artist’s info cards beside them, I will create a YouTube video using photos I take of all the entered paintings.
Paintography
The entry I submitted is a hybrid photograph and digital painting (“paintography”) .... not one or the other, but a creatively, unique blending of both digital mediums .... You can clone in “missing” eyes, erase distractions, change colors, add effects, and unlimited possibilities to transform the “real” into the “interesting” and “one of a kind” art to share and show others around the world via the Internet.
Many digital artists computer canvas cyber art works are mostly self originated digital paintings, highly imaginative in concept, but they are not using photo based material as a launching pad, so I can see why they would think mine are not “artsy” enough. I am more inclined to enhance reality rather than stray too far away from it. In working with the “photograph” and making it into “paintography”, I improve my own awareness and comprehension of the reality on which it is predicated. Via my media of choice, “paintography”, I improve my own sanity and have improved senses in this incoherent, insane world of political turmoil and strife ever constantly changing and competing for increasingly limited resources needed to sustain life on earth.
I like paintography because it uses the camera’s computer image as digital painting cyber canvas; the artist can experience many artistic freedoms that the traditional artist practices, both are similarly transforming a photo into an art image. The only difference is in "paintography", the artist is working in cyber space with cyber tools which befuddle most traditional artists who are still not computer literate. “Paintography” uses cyber simulated equivalents of the tools and pigments traditional artists use such as those provided by Corel Painter 11 or other photo editing software. In finishing the cyber image after printing to real canvas, then the “paintographer” can further paint the cyber created image using traditional media, either oil or acrylic or add mixed media collage effects.
A photo is the “underpainting” of the finished art to which the cyber space artist adds his unique and original creativity, imagination, and play with colors beyond the limits of real to what is more than real. Discoveries along the way while working with the computer canvas digital creation happily present many choices to improve the overall image and its composition artistically. So while an art created with “paintography” may look similar to a photo, it is much more than a photo... It is what the artist creating it wants it to be and say to the viewer. “Happy to see you”.
With Corel Painter 11 art images are created just as in traditional art. "Paintography" starts with a photograph which can then be rendered into abstract, watercolor, oil, or even a Van Gogh style among many other transformations that can automatically rendered. Abstract art can be created by using one of many "effects and filters" applied to the real world photograph ..... or you just paint using cyber artist tools choosing among hundreds of brushes, pens, and options on a blank cyber canvas of one layer or as many layers you want to for your work.
I did an interesting cubism art work when studying Picasso as a mimic of his style in a class taught online by Academy of Visual Arts, but for that I started with a blank canvas since those works do not start with a photograph but can if you want the palette of the photo and or certain shapes in it or you can select, copy, and paste or clone from one photo source to the new cyber canvas as desired. Once the "paintographer" creates the cyber canvas image(s), textures, patterns, and picture tubes (like little pictures in a paint tube) can be applied. The cyber canvas images they can be combined, resized, made into mosaics, it can be cyber framed if desired, and then if desired printed as giclee on canvas or watercolor paper for framing or finished as a canvas wrap.
Once printed you can then use any of the traditional oil or acrylic paints or textures to enhance the work before finishing and framing for show exhibition or sale. In the cyber art studio, you can apply many different perspectives, warps, distortions, geometrics, or anything you can think of (much more than a traditional artist can do with his tools). Where a real art studio is limited by physical laws, the cyber art studio is not. The cyber art studio is accessible to the world, portable, and does not require real estate cost considerations and upkeep. Many more things can be done with cyber art studio tools and functions/features than via traditional art studio methods and techniques. If it is not already begin done, it certainly is possible to even create 3D art sculptures via cyber art studio software.
Paintography" is neither photography nor is it pure pixel painting digital art. Instead "paintography" uses both the media of photography and the media of digital painting to achieve a totally new media ("Paintography)", creating an art image which may or may not resemble the original photo used as the "underpainting" ..... using the word photographer normally connotes photo editing skills which may then advance to what a "paintographer" does.... a "paintographer" paints with pixels and is assisted or uses as an underpainting the pixels of a photo the artist has ownership of and would not be violating copyright protections, but the "paintographer" uses his artistic license making what began as a photo transformed into an original art work creation.
I think that most individuals who have little or no experience with photo editing via the computer would be astounded at the power and versatility cyber art studios has in making its art creations. I was very impressed and still am with the cyber art studio and the programs that provide the studio everything the digital artist needs to create his art works.
Another interesting cyber art style is fractal painting. I use the program, Apophysis, It creates very intricate art images mathematically via numerical parameters. Apophysis has fractal art image editing tools for the artist to control the making of the fractal art images existing on cyber canvases.
If you like art then you might enjoy learning more about cyber art, digital photography, and "Paintography". It is truly fascinating and rewarding leisure time pursuit which just might become professional work.
It takes talent

It takes talent
to identify and capture
the moment in time
of a subject
in its background
worthy enough
to call the resulting photo,
"Art".....
A picture is worth a thousand words ....
and most are photos,
some are also truly fine art.
"Paintography" can create
fine art with any photo,
or merely be entertaining,
educational, and creative play.
When I photograph my Pekingese and make paintography art of the photo images, I first
had to produce them as living sculpture works of beauty and art (as a Pekingese breeder)
..... so one media can feed another media and I believe the artist who is responsible for
everything in the photo is the most original and creative more than one who
is merely photographing something he had no ownership of or responsibility
for it existing.
I have photographed a sunflower which is the result of 14
years of reseeding and hybridization and set in my own front yard landscape
so I take pride in what the photo is recording and preserving for future
reference and exhibition. After you have a photo, I like to make large size
giclee prints on canvas and suitably frame it to hang on the wall or
exhibiting in an art show..... without paintography work done to it.
