Description
This is not a photograph. The painting is created exclusively with Photoshop. It is one of a series of three. The full size is 54x36 inches and required 210 hours to complete.ByGoneDays is a portrait of the floundering lobster and crabbing business. The seas are less bountiful, making it more difficult for the small fishing families to survive against the large establishments. In this scene, the faithful boat sits idle, succumbing to the elements. The doors of the business are locked, the traps left empty and isolated. Russ

Mate, thanks for the comment...I am not sure what it means but suspect that it is good. I looked at your gallery and see that you work with PS 7...my choice too. You works are expressive, different than my realism but very remarkable. All of my digital paintings have been done in Photoshop...a wonderful program. ByGoneDays was one of my most challenging. Thanks, Russ

Dobby, thanks for the confidence builder comment...truly appreciated. I never know how my work will be viewed. I got a chuckle out of the line of cute icons too...made my day. I looked through your gallery, very impressive and diverse in media usage. Thanks again, Russ

No problem. Keep up the excellent work. Your subject matter is not really to my taste (but my tastes are very weird), however Im totally awed by your talent!

GW, your works are definitely different....but that just makes you unique, not weird. What is wonderful about art is that it can be appreciated without judgment, especially artist to artist. Russ
