hey there say, gypsy... say, these are lovely...
i used to overlap photos for fun, but never printed any... was going to put them in a book...
my twin buddies showed me how to do LAYERS at a simple photo shop...
not as wonderful as yours, though, but i really enjoyed it...
another wow, here:
you have some very great stuff there...
say, mouse is an art lover, has he seen it??
oh mouseeeeeeeeeeee, where are you, today?
:)
(at his flames thread, perhaps) :)
say:
gypsy, in the OLD DAYS of REAL CAMERAS, etc... one could set up the
the time frames, to over lap, etc, and a few other things,
and one could get multi images..
is this how you do some, or, do you blend, as you said, your calif shots,
perhaps with the corisca ones, that you have taken, perhaps at an
ealier or later time, ?
these are really special stuff... just curious, as, i once wanted to
be a photographer, and had seen lens tricks, that folks used, back then,
in the black and white times...

Thanks for the encouragement. Here is one more...(one of my particular favorites).
To answer your question Neebee. I really didn't own a camera before the digital age. I always either used a borrowed one or those disposable ones. That is why there are so few photographs taken in the "old" days. So I am pretty much inexperienced with layering within the camera or "double exposures". I take all of the photographs with a digital camera and then I layer them in photoshop.

I'm here and I love Gypsy's work.
It's a creative use of her varied experiences and is highly personalized. There is much to look at.
Rather dazzling images, Gypsy! Randy would be so proud, too.Poet Kenneth Rexroth asked his friend and publisher James Laughlin in 1953 to help correct what he felt were poor representations of him and his work in some recent essays. Foremost, he wrote:
I would like it mentioned that I was one of the first abstract painters in the USA. That I am now a Romantic painter. That I have exhibited in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and several times in San Francisco, always on man shows. I do not believe in art juries & never submit my paintings to group shows. I have paintings in many collections around the country and abroad.
Rexroth had begun formal art study as an adolescent in Chicago—at Chicago’s New School, at the Art Institute, and with local abstract expressionists. During a sojourn to New York City a few years later, he studied at the Art Students League.
At twenty-one, Rexroth fell in love with the artist Andree Dutcher, whom he soon married. The two were so enmeshed that they jointly created collages and even painted together on single canvases—part figurative, part geometric abstracts—which they signed “KRAR.”
Traveling throughout the West—on foot, hitchhiking, or riding freight trains—the couople supported themselves, among many other means, by painting furniture and murals.
Rexroth was born in 1905 in South Bend, Indiana. He is not known as The Hoosier Poet, which is JW Riley’s nickname. Rexroth’s mother, an early feminist, was also his teacher, instilling in him a love of art, a strong social conscience, and a sense of the value of self-discovery. She was stricken with TB and died. They picked out her coffin together before that sad event. She might have lived longer had it not been for the strain of Rexroth’s father’s bankruptcy and descent into alcoholism, and the family’s dispossession from their home. Rexroth was left in the care of a senile grandmother who abused him. After his father’s death, when Rexroth was thirteen, he was shuffled among relatives until he acquired a permanent home with an aunt in Chicago’s tough South side neighborhood.
At a Hyde Park synagogue that invited teenagers of any faith to participate in cultural activities, Rexroth met Esther Czerny, who introduced him to Jacob Loeb and his salon. There Rexroth met such prominent figures as Clarence Darrow, Sherwood Anderson, Carl Sandburg, Vachel Lindsay Eugene V. Debs, and Frank Lloyd Wright. And it was in Chicago that the adolescent Rexroth began writing poetry and studying are. After serving time for a marijuana possession in the early 1920s, he fell in love with his social worker, Lesley Smith, and followed her across the country, ending up in New York. A literary omnivore, Rexroth wrote two volumes of essays on world classics. Besides fourteen volumes of poetry, he published translations of chines, Japanese, Greek, Spanish, and French poets.
Rexroth died in 1982 in Montecito, California. Author Bradford Morrow summed him up as an “American original, a polymath, a crank, a solitary singer.”

hey there say, gypsy... here is the only overlap that i have on file... here... the others are on the old computer in the other room...
most are horse-type countryside. tree/mountain, and, flower/leaf tree stuff, as, at the time i had just had the few photos to use from our block, where i walked patty ann marie, my pup-dog...
this was my upper window, and the black cat, think it is baby harerp-tyler-mercy (who is grown now) and the 'famous family use of fan' (as we did it south texas) being used to cool the room... :)
i DID this for a NOTECARD, :)
later will look for the others... and after the fundraiser, wow, you have encouraged me to make a few more, :)
thankyou again, for sharing this wonderful fun and highly artistic
treasures of yours, gypsy!

One of my paintings. 2000. After sailing the Bahamas. Glen (Denny) liked this stuff so much he made me pose for a pic w him under one of them.
Oil on canvas. I hand-stretched all. 2X3 feet at a minimum. They'd sit out on our patio for 5 days drying.
I built the frames.
Headed to Santa Fe to try and sell these beasts. We're broke.

Great Neebee, that looks like a lovely card. Windows and doors are highly symbolic for me and figure a great deal in my work such as this one:

hey there say, norwegian...
oh my, dear sir... not neglect... i just caught a few squares, here really fast... :)
and posted and etc...
somewhere, yours DID pop up in here...
i have been going overtime, painting and sometimes am half asleep here...
just woke up in between... :)
the pictures stall on my computer, but then DO flash by...
and by then, i am ready to stop and go sleep...
or, have moved fast to my FIRST thoughts, that i realized i have missed, by posting on something fun, :))
say, YES, please do share your art...
did you do this? or one of your kids?
the sentiments make sense, did you know:
by our art, we share more than just us, we share how the world around us,
has affected us, or, how we wish we could 'shine' into the world...
now, i am awake, and can share, >:D<
simple drawings, speak just a deep as multi paintings...
the real way, to heaven:
a good deep thought to share:
we must really die to our self-centered ways, and be like a
SEED, ... crack our tough hard ways, a bit-- :)
and the old stuff DIE off and our NEW stuff,
well, it grows into ' heavenly goodness' ...
JUST LIKE our art grows from bits of rock, clay, dirt, tinted media,
lead or colored pencils, and turns:
spiritually into heaven's inner us,
OUT into the earthy world...
touching other spirits...
very NICE share, in deed, norwegian...
:)
oh my, no dear friend:
just a tired neebee, is all... (have 30 paintings lined up, moving
through the ranks, and TWO fundraisers)
and i can't post these encourage type things that i love to share,
when i am not quite full awake, as, hee hee...
you see, i have this word-way of taking and sometimes it does not makes sense, when
i OVER art it ...
and my huge HUGE backwards, typing trouble ( i must continualy back track to fix nearly every word, and it is not done well, when i hurry or am tired) :(
(to keep with art, here... yep, i OVER ART my word in my books, too)
:)
happy good morning norwegain... you are never out of mind, or thoughts,
:)
check your email... :)
mayn tiemas my typings lokkks leki sthi,s o , i ustm xif it alot...
ahhhh, an ART, too, in itself, (last line fixed, as rest of post, is too) ...
:)
