Aquero

 The "Aguero" is a fishing vessel, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Aquero, in Spanish translates to "omen"! 

One meaning is that it is a bad omen for fishermen to learn how to swim?? However, we can assume that the name "Aguero" on this vessel is intended to be a "good omen", whether you can swim or not!

The "Aguero" is moored in Yaquina Bay. Newport boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon and possibly the West Coast. This scene features a heavy fog early in the morning.

 This capture has been converted to digital painting. However, it's not that simple! Three different exposures were taken of the Aguero, combined to bring out all the dynamics of the scene...combining light, color to make the image more vibrant. Then the results were turned into a digital painting.

Covered Bridge Art

 This is the Weddle Bridge in Sweet Home, Oregon. It is a 120 foot long wooden covered bridge.

The original bridge was built in 1937 and, rebuilt in 1990. The bridge originally spanned Thomas Creek.

In 1989, a Sweet Home group rebuilt the Weddle Bridge across Ames Creek in Sankey Park.

I combined a High Dynamic Range image with an unusual texture to give it a painted look. At one time Oregon had more covered bridges than any state west of the Mississippi!

This is Dock 5 Pier which is located in Newport, Oregon on the Central Coast. When Dungeness crab is in season folks flock to the Port Docks to get not only fresh crab but, fresh lingcod, tuna, rockfish.

Max Train To Gresham

A downtown Portland (PDX), Oregon scene of the Max Train (streetcar) headed for Gresham, Oregon! Nobody really refers to them as streetcars anymore but trains or light rail.

However, they sure look like streetcars. Portland's traffic is horrendous and the Max Trains are very popular to get to the suburbs.

It's a winter day and things are blustery! It's a workday and it seems no one is downtown except for worker bees. The Historic Pioneer Courthouse is off to the left.

If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Digital Painting

I am delving into digital painting head first! It is an entirely different process that what I am use to. Basically, I am a photographer and I love it! However, I am a maverick and I like being different with my art forms.

I still do the same things with my images. Meaning, I clean them up and often convert them to High Dynamic Range Photography to bring out more dynamics in any given photo. But, now I am taking a big step forward converting them into digital paintings.

It's lots of work but, the results can be astounding! So, please check out the images below and tell me what you think.

All can be purchased in various forms on my Pixels Website and I have individual links for each image below. Thank you!
