What struck me most was the bold contrast of colors (green foliage, black/brown sand, and pink flamingos). It seemed so contrasting yet so eye pleasing. The legs is what really made the picture cool, in my opinion. Not only... http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/45464 christinee Photography / Nature I caught this picture of a gorgeous Ibis resting peacefully by a waterfall. The picture was taken with my Canon EOS Rebel Digital Camera. Enjoy! http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/45235 christinee Photography / Nature I caught these two butterflies doing the "wild thing" when I visited a butterfly sanctuary not too long ago. I didn't watch them too long...wanted to give them a little privacy. The explicit content box is checked because...well..they "are"... http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/38574 christinee Photography / Nature I took this shot right after I got my new digital camera about a month ago. I was outside taking photos of my yard and looked up. The sky was so pretty with the rays of sun through the clouds - almost ethereal.

This is a companion piece to "Ghost Dancer" only with a different color and angle. The link below will show the outline/wire mesh format of the piece. http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/28874 christinee Painting / Still life The first image I created using the gradient mesh in Adobe Illustrator 10. It's named "Ghost Dancer" at the suggestion of a friend who saw it just before it was finished and said "that looks like a ghost of a ballerina dancing". To view the... http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/28648 christinee Painting / Still life Using a stock photo as reference, I recreated this image using only Illustrator 10. I was intending to have a "vectorish" look to this - solid blocks of colors and clean lines. Somewhere along the way, I lost that look, but ended up being very happy with the way it... http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/26031 christinee Painting / Nature A photorealistic recreation of an actual spider living in my front yard. I created it entirely in Adobe Illustrator without plug-in's or filters other then gaussian blur. Most of the time I took my laptop and sat in the front yard to work on the image, and on rainy days, used a digital... http://christinee.gfxartist.com/artworks/26018
