I thought I would share a few "paintings" I created from source photos. It's fun to take an image and see what else I can create from it.

This is my TC at Mount Hood, Oregon.

This one shows several T-Series MGs taking on a local mountain road.

Here is a panorama I created as an alternate version of the first one.

This was originally a photo my wife took from a moving car, and it was blurry. Three MG T-Types coming through a tunnel.

This was sent to me by a friend, who inspired me to start this little hobby.

Interesting.........
 
Nice. I dig the flares on the GT. Where do you s'pose I can get em?
 
Wow. Looks like your car on the front page of their website. Crazy prices on the cars for sale.
 
I thought that but the number was different so I assumed differently.
 
I'm thinking about a roadster and would love to find a C.
 
Gosh dang it, Steve that C GT looks awesome! Oh, and the "paintings" are nice too. It's just that the C steals the limelight!
 
Hey Steve,
Have you ever been to Freestyle photographic supplies on Sunset Blvd? (East of Western). They have a huge selection of inkjet papers. Parchment, canvas, etc. Might be cool to print some of your work on.
 
The funny thing is, I almost deleted the original GTS photo. I liked the framing but the overall image was terrible. The shot was out of focus, the color was flat and it just wasn't working for me. A friend re-worked it as you see it above. He didn't crop or alter anything, but simply changed the texture to resemble a drawing. Now it's one of my favorite images of the car.

It certainly shows that how you view a scene is more important than anything else. The shot was there, the feeling was there, it was simply a matter of seeing it in a different way.

Neat little proverb for life, that one.
