A digital watercolor of beautiful white cherry blossoms. This piece is based on a photo I took of a lovely sakura tree at a park bursting with the flowers of Spring. I added a cracked, spotted concrete texture overlay to the image to juxtapose the ephemeral, delicate blossoms with the hard, worn-out surface of the […]

Melbourne has been voted regularly as the Most Livable City in the World. It is not surprising: the city has a high standard of living and serves as a great example of successful urban planning. I made this photomontage using images I took when visiting Melbourne. The theme is about what makes Melbourne a sustainable, […]

Vibrantly beautiful maple leaves in fall, with soft round bokeh points of light in the background. Celebrate autumn with these red fall foliage. I took this photo in Kyoto, Japan, when the entire place was ablaze with the vivid colors of the season. Art prints and canvas prints are available on Redbubble. A look at […]

Gorgeous autumn leaves in myriad tones of red, yellow and orange. I took this photo at Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan. Yamanashi is famous for being the home of Mt. Fuji, and for the five lakes surrounding the designated World Cultural Heritage mountain. The parks around the lakes burst into an amazing symphony of brilliant colors […]

Lovely light yellow cosmos in a large flower field under clear blue skies. The cosmos variety is known as “Yellow Campus”. This photo is a SOOC (straight out of camera) image, a welcome break from all the filtering and other digital manipulation that you see on this photo site lately 🙂 I took the photo […]

Digital watercolor of the interior of a theater on Broadway in New York City. This was inside the Imperial Theater (See an exterior photo my husband snapped here). Our travel itinerary allowed us only one musical, and while there were plenty to choose from I picked Billy Elliot. I had seen the movie from which […]

New York City Skyline Digital Watercolor

beverlyclaire — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 02:14:01 +0000

Digital watercolor of New York City skyline as seen from Brooklyn Bridge. They were doing some sort of large-scale maintenance work on the bridge so there was scaffolding everywhere. I debated about using the image without any metallic thingies in sight, but in the end decided to go with this one. I think the construction-related […]

Digital watercolor of the Statue of Liberty in New York City. We were lucky to have cloudless blue skies when venturing out to Liberty Island. This photo was taken while gazing up from the bottom of the monument. We purchased our general entrance ticket via NY City Pass but forgot to reserve the extra ticket […]

New York City Times Square Corner Night View Digital Watercolor

Digital watercolor of a corner of Times Square at night in New York City. When I visited NYC the X Factor show was being heavily promoted–there were giant billboards in Times Square with the smug-faced Simon Cowell and company peering down on what would become another one of their future captive audience. Paula looked great, […]

New York City Ellis Island Immigration Museum Digital Watercolor

Digital watercolor of the great hall inside Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York City. Sunlight filtered through the large Romanesque windows and made the brick walls have a matte kind of understated sparkle. With a pair of American flags the spacious hall seemed rather warm and welcoming. For the immigrants at that time it […]
