"The Painter"

[SteveA]

In New Castle New Hampshire, there is a statue called "The Painter". From what I've read, it was created in honor of an artist named David Greenfield.

I've been wanting to copy the idea, in the form of a portable picture frame to
use as a prop for pictures. Here is my very first "swing" at it. :rolleye1:

Taken last night from Long Beach at Lake Shore Park, with the help of a very nice man to play the role of "The Painter". The black and white conversion with the "revealed color" is my adaptation. It wasn't a spectacular sunset, but I was itching to try out my latest toy. :rolleye1:

You are really becoming quite a talent Steve!

This is another from the same spot, with a little bit different angle.

From the photos you show, I would say it was spectacular..........really nice job, like the black and white contrast.

Nice job Steve.Looks like the "painter" is using a small house painting brush!:laugh:

Yes he is.. (actually a "trim" brush) and the "painters palette" is actually a chunk of a busted foam float of some sort found on the beach. :laugh:

The whole rig, frame and all, is a "jerry built" mess... :emb:

I'm real glad is was a windless evening or the entire thing would have collapsed in front of the small crowd that wondered over to see
what sort of crazy thing I was doing this time.

Nice job Steve. I would suggest using an artist's easel to support the frame. I like the use of selective color here.

Your images reminded me of these two which I did a few years ago. Both images were created by using the history brush in PhotoShop.

Wow... these are great! I thought of the artist easel, but couldn't get the "see through" effect that I was trying to copy from the "Painter" frame in New Castle.
As seen here. (This is the actual sculpture)

I've just started playing with the selective color stuff in photoshop.. the possibilities are endless.

You can remove all of the elements of the easel within the frame with PhotoShop by using a combination of the patch and cloning tool. Just like I used both of them to make your paint brush smaller.

Now you've caused a problem! :laugh: The last thing I needed was another "toy" to play with on Photoshop! My Honey Do list is going to end up totally ignored. ;)

Thanks for the tips.. the smaller brush looks much better, I think I may use that to clone out the tripod and make the frame "floating"
