Monday Morning Art: Victorian Loren

Just like last week, this week our art is an acrylic painting that started out as a digital abstract. I had fun working on last week’s piece, so I’m going to be working in this mode for the next week or so.

This time I began with a photo of photographer, David Seymour, taking a photo of Sophia Loren in Rome in 1955.  I did some digital manipulation, mirroring, distorting and colorizing the image, and then, like last week, I painted that image in acrylics…this time on a smallish piece of cheap canvas board.

You can see the original photo at the right.

The result, for some reason, looked sort of Victorian-era to me, hence the title.

Like last week, even though the finished painting is all acrylic-painting, I still consider this a mixed media piece due to it being based on a digitally-created image.
