Celtic Rock Knot Fine Art Design

Celtic Rock Knot T-shirts & Gifts © Kristen N. FoxA while ago I was sifting through some of my abstract photography – photographs that are mostly colors and textures and patterns, mainly from nature – and an idea popped into my head! What if I combined an abstract photo with an interesting piece of Celtic knotwork? The idea really tickled my brain, and here’s the first ‘hybrid’ design – Celtic Rock Knot!

I actually used a photo of metallic corrosions, rust, and mineral deposits, and after combining it with a simple knot, and added depth and chisel marks in photoshop, it came out looking like it was carved from rock – I just really love the look!

Check it out on a sampling of products in the image montage below (it’s a little marketing-y because I made it for my shop, but it does do a good job of the sampling – LOL):

I love it on the colored t-shirts and such, but also on products with the original photo as background, like on the pillow, journal, and the messenger bag.  Click here to browse Celtic Rock Knot t-shirts and bags, and such.

It also looks pretty dang cool on the new bed and bath products – shower curtains, duvet covers, cloth napkins, and even rugs and curtains – Click here to check out the Celtic Rock Knot Shower Curtain, Duvet Covers, Pillowcases and Throw Pillows

Also, Fine Art Prints of the Celtic Rock Knot Art are available, with or without framing, or even as a canvas print, through my gallery at Imagekind. (In the sample image here I chose an interesting gray framing option – neat!) Click here for a zoom image of Celtic Rock Knot, and to see it displayed in another format, etc.

Thanks for looking! 🙂 And I already have some new ideas for more abstract photo and celtic hybrid art, so stay tuned.

Radiant Heat Fractal Art Print

I’ve been trying out a few of the digital fractal art creation programs I’ve found online – “Radiant Heat” is the first piece resulting from this experimentation that I really like. 🙂

"Radiant

I named it Radiant Heat because it reminds me of our portable heater that glows orange and also reflects orange in the metal tines of the protective cover – such a romantic I am. 😉

If you’re interested in prints, or want to see a larger version, just click on the image to visit Radiant Heat in my gallery at Imagekind. Thanks!

And Radiant Heat is also available in bed and bath items like a shower curtain, duvet covers, throw pillows, cloth napkins, etc. – click here!

Baby Deer Returns

The young deer returned to forage through the yard again! Hope he/she found the apple I tossed out for wandering foragers before he/she tried to sample the neighbors snow-covered yucca plant:

It’s not horribly cold out right now, but at least it has a lovely fur coat on. So cute!

Crazy Vibrance Abstract Painting

This year I thought I’d try my hand with digital painting, since it’s really fun to do, and a bit easier when you don’t have time or space to pull out the regular paints and brushes. I’d heard a lot about the ArtRage program, but decided to try a freeware version first, so I downloaded MyPaint. Also dusted off the ol’ Wacom Graphire Tablet.

After playing with MyPaint for a while to get the hang of the control, I started my first ‘official’ painting, which I quite like – has a very contemporary feel to me. (In comparison to a lot of the Celtic art that I do. I suppose MOST things will feel more contemporary in that case – LOL!)

I call this abstract digital painting, Crazy Vibrance:

I really love lush color, and I was really happy with how this came out – was hard to stop even when I knew it was done too – much too fun! 🙂

Baby Deer

I caught a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye, and grabbed my camera before I even checked outside to see what it was, just in case.  It was a baby deer (ok, yes, a “fawn”), right by our back deck!

Maybe it’s a tad older than a baby, since it was grazing and I didn’t see any other deer in the immediate vicinity, but it’s definitely really young – look how small and fuzzy it is!

Happy Friday! 🙂
