At first glance I thought that these were nicely composed and shot photographs but actually they are paintings from the new collection by Alyssa Monks. I have always been jealous of painters and their ability to re-create everyday scenes, but at a much larger scale, making them something beautiful. I can't comprehend the time and patience needed to get each water droplet and hair strand perfect but this lady is a master at it. Check out her website for her other amazing works.Meanwhile, i have news. I have quit my job and am heading for Australia in October! I have been so busy organising flights, visas, job contacts, online portfolios and looking into the best sun cream for my Scottish skin! It's a dream i have had for the last few years but was ultimately a very last minute decision, which makes it all the more exciting. I havn't looked back or regretted it yet and i don't think i ever will.
These do look amazing; just incredible detail.
ReplyDeleteBut there's something about paintings done from photographs that I always find a bit odd. I can't quite put my finger on why - maybe because it makes them less direct, somehow.
Hi Red, you are my first official comment! Thanks for looking.
