I am very happy to have the opportunity to display a few samples of my work at the Innis House  - Inniswood Metro Gardens.  The display will run through the end of April.  I’ll be hosting a “Meet the Artist” reception Sunday April 29th, 2012 from 2-4pm.  Stop by the park and enjoy the beauty of nature.  Thanks for viewing! – Vince

A Contrast of Textures

Inniswood Buttercup

I spent a couple hours this morning wondering around Inniswood Metro Gardens in Westerville, Ohio.  The early warm weather this spring has definitely pushed the bloom schedule ahead by about three weeks.  Always looking for the unusual subject I couldn’t pass up this fallen Buttercup as it contrasted against the dark textured surface of a shallow  pond.   F22 @ 1/8, iso 400.   Thanks for viewing!   – Vince

Fun with Photoshop Filters

This photo was taken last summer at Inniswood Metro Gardens, Ohio.  I decided to play around with Photoshop’s radial blur filter, layer masks, and Nik Software’s Color Efex 4 and Viveza 2.   I usually don’t use the gimmick tools photoshop has to offer, but when applied in the right manner the results can be quite pleasing.  Thanks as always for viewing!    - Vince

Decorating with Earth Tones

Macro Earth Tones

Macro Earth Tones

I received tremendous input from clients visiting my booth at local art fairs this past year.  One of the lessons I learned was that people generally prefer warm earth tones to complement their home or office decor.  You might have the best image on earth but if it doesn’t match one’s decor it’s usually going to result in a no sale!  I love bright and bold color combinations but in reality such colors may not work in many decorating situations.   Fortunately, earth tones abound in the landscape.  These tones may not pop out at you right away but with time you’ll learn to see many intimate shades in the landscape.   Thanks f0r viewing – Vince
