I've been cleaning up my trusty old 'puter because I need to transition to a newer OS — and have gone through a decades worth of old files - deleting a ton and backing up MANY others.
It's been a time-consuming pain - made worse by the fact that I still LOVE my current PC and wouldn't even consider a transition if it wasn't going to be supported anymore.
-------------------------
The upside has been a nostalgic journey through ten years worth of old letters, images, and files, etc.
In that process I came across tons of old artwork — some that were finished and other "works in progress" that I ran out of steam on for one reason or another.
So today I'll share a few of those in no particular order.

^ ^ ^ Ages ago I found a photo portrait of an older woman and loved her sweet looking expression and decided to paint this digital portrait of her.
I got this far before moving on — but really enjoyed the process on this one.

| "Kiefer" - Copyright 2011 - Jephyr! - All Rights Reserved |
^ ^ ^ Was watching the movie Flatliners and captured an image of Kiefer Sutherland during a scene and digitally painted this using it as a reference.
As I recall that original reference was monochromatic — but I was also kinda in that artistic "phase" at that time as well.

| "Snail Photo Study" - Copyright 2011 - Jephyr! - All Rights Reserved |
^ ^ ^ Found an awesome photo of a snail in a natural environment and really loved the lighting on it and tried my hand at capturing it in this digital painting.
 |
| "Jesus" - Copyright 2011 - Jephyr - All Rights Reserved |
^ ^ ^ A photo study / digital painting of an image of a statue of Christ I found online.
In the original photo, the statue was either stone or concrete in natural light — but as noted above, I was in a "monochromatic phase" around that time and went with this greenish color scheme.

^ ^ ^ This 2011 digital painting, I used as a reference just the "portrait" section of an amazing photo called "Strength."
BTW — I'd love to give credit to whoever took the original photo of the old man.
So if you know the photographer for this one or any of the other references I used (unless otherwise noted), please let me know who they are and I'd be happy to add a credit for them and link to their web-site(s) or social media etc.
-----------------------------
That'll do it for today — although I may share more older images that I found in the archives down the road.

Thanks for stopping by.
See you again soon.......
