I challenged myself to create a painting from an image I created using a digital phone app called PaintJoy. I wondered if I could translate art that had been created digitally on my phone to art that was painted with actual paint and canvas.

The challenge was to maintain the brightness of color, to transfer the effects of light. The other challenge was to translate the tiny phone image to a large 36 x 36 inch scale.

I prefer to leave some unfinished pieces to the painting, like rough edges or such. I believe this helps add breath and life to the painting. Otherwise, I could push it to its demise and create a dead image. Perfection can go either way… either give it strength or seal its coffin.

As you can see, the painted version is a little different as the painting process took over with its intuitive guidance.

Original phone art image created in Android app called PaintJoy.
