 Photomanipulations are art images that exist only within the digital realm, (computer), until brought to life through the printing process. Unlike thick oil or acrylic paints, a digital image must discover texture without the aide of a 3-D world because a print is flat &amp; smooth. Pixels, grains, and high contrasts are allowed within the resulting prints, intentionally, to give the image texture and added depth; Pixels &amp; ripples are modern brush strokes much like the Impressionists and Pointillist strokes of days past. My digital works begin with either a photograph straight from the camera, a scanned photograph, or even a scan of an original drawing or painting. The image is then carefully worked through various digital programs to produce results that express a blending of humanity &amp; technology.</description><copyright>Copyright (C) 2008</copyright><ttl>5</ttl><item><title>Hopeful</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/6793da3f-3eab-4aef-8669-e40b15c83c39/uploadedartwork/100X100/4b3e0368-fda9-46ec-ad61-7cc4ef1b2379.jpg' alt='4b3e0368-fda9-46ec-ad61-7cc4ef1b2379' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Digital manipulated photograph of a fierce setting sunbeam over a metal rubbish dumpster container; a symbol of urban hope.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Hopeful_art_art?IMID=4b3e0368-fda9-46ec-ad61-7cc4ef1b2379</link></item><item><title>Tug Boats Under the Drawbridge</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/6793da3f-3eab-4aef-8669-e40b15c83c39/uploadedartwork/100X100/cc58daa9-17cc-4f48-b87a-d87810109591.jpg' alt='cc58daa9-17cc-4f48-b87a-d87810109591' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;p&gt;An image that began as a 35mm photograph that was scanned into the computer to create a digital file. That file was then was heavily manipulated through photo editing software to create a painterly texture and effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The elephant headed Hindu God Ganesha (or Ganesh) sits holding the Golden Ball of enlightenment filtered through hues of indigo over a flowing granite stone like background. Style of digital manipulation lends the image a dream like, painterly, quality overall.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Ganesha-Indigo-Flow_art_art?IMID=6f365a55-fcb1-47f2-bad2-bd5fa97d7d6a</link></item><item><title>Switch Baby</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/6793da3f-3eab-4aef-8669-e40b15c83c39/uploadedartwork/100X100/4f50c522-cd52-4aec-87b8-437db152cddf.jpg' alt='4f50c522-cd52-4aec-87b8-437db152cddf' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Digital photomanipulation collage of a pouty baby doll face.

Featuring sand dollars, a starfish, and sea shells enhanced through photo-editing software to produce a mild painterly effect to the original photograph image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons I chose to come to this location for printing services was the ability to frame custom to the artwork. I feel that final step of adding the frame IS in fact a part of the piece, overall, and allows the viewer to move through the forms as intended. Printing on canvas will alter the effect of the soft digital texture, that the image already has, in a negative manner. Close-up images, that show the full digital effects of this piece, will soon be available to view at my website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Five-Points_art_art?IMID=4dee5540-667a-4da4-adf8-03e2f637a74e</link></item><item><title>Lovely Weed Orient</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/6793da3f-3eab-4aef-8669-e40b15c83c39/uploadedartwork/100X100/81c04032-54ed-443f-bdc6-b77eb9a9b75f.jpg' alt='81c04032-54ed-443f-bdc6-b77eb9a9b75f' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A digital photomanipulation of a lovely flowering plant in bloom that has a slight feel of the orient in style.

 Part of the sociopolitical series, "Toys", where the artist explores the concept of childhood toys representing the situations and ideas of the modern day world.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Worldly-Woman_art_art?IMID=fc63085a-1bef-4941-933c-c823a056dc6e</link></item><item><title>Americana</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/6793da3f-3eab-4aef-8669-e40b15c83c39/uploadedartwork/100X100/8d1a30af-79e4-433f-9128-2caa8f5dee8a.jpg' alt='8d1a30af-79e4-433f-9128-2caa8f5dee8a' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A photograph, enhanced by digital means, of a sardonic look at the debris of modern American summer life.

This work is a photograph, by Tree Pruitt, that depicts the many layers of this artist's work. A tiny hand sculpted figure pendant of a plump belly motherly Goddess rests upon a larger plaster piece, also from the artist. Each element is removed from it's original context offering a landscape like perspective, unique to itself, in a contemporary format. Low resolution camera was used to achieve a mild painterly effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons I chose to come to this location for printing services was the ability to frame custom to the artwork. I feel that final step of adding the frame IS in fact a part of the piece, overall, and allows the viewer to move through the forms as intended. I feel that this piece works well in all sizes available, as shown. Printing on canvas will alter the effect of the soft digital texture, that the image already has, in a negative manner. Close-up images, that show the full digital effects of this piece, will soon be available to view at my website. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Goddess-Clouds-and-Rain_art_art?IMID=1599248c-3eaf-449d-8c8c-423ee4a1f521</link></item><item><title>She Eats</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/6793da3f-3eab-4aef-8669-e40b15c83c39/uploadedartwork/100X100/29f8d57b-d962-4417-b531-5ffee3e21211.jpg' alt='29f8d57b-d962-4417-b531-5ffee3e21211' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Wicked image collage of the torso of a doll putting a sewing needle on a string up to her arm and a praying mantis insect trying to get into a window screen.

This is in part due to the affection they shower upon the bones of members of family groups that have passed away. Elephants have been known to leave the main group and travel hundreds of miles out of their way just to lovingly carress a pile bones and then some! Do they remember? Of that there can be no doubt. I remember too.

Be she mother, sister, spouse, daughter, or elder, inside the feminine soul burns secret dreams or desires often unfulfilled by the requirements of daily life; building with a threat to explode, consuming both love and hate.
 After positioning the emotional pose for the photograph, taken with a special low resolution camera, artist Tree Pruitt created this photomanipulation digital painting. Please see this artists main gallery page to learn more about photomanipulation prints. This piece was carefully blended and shaped by hand, through the use of a computer mouse and various image programs, creating a blend of technology and humanity. May not present well printed on canvas due to the visual texture in the image.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Burning_art_art?IMID=9be3a6a8-781b-4fe0-b4ff-2cb2af0d44cd</link></item></channel></rss>
