Description
"Widows Threshold"
A woman in a flowery dress leans against the frame of an open door in a wooden homestead. She looks out down the path that approaches her home. In her left hand, she holds a revolver, just hidden behind her dress.
This one is inspired by Andrew Wyeth's work "Christina Olson" 1947 tempera painting as well as by one of my favorite shows "Hell on Wheels" (I just finished watching season 2 on Netflix).
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography,I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects,I have the computer create simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then,using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet),I go over the work adjusting colors,adding brushwork,painting in details,etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris,ZBrush,Blender3d,Vue,Daz Studio,and GIMP.
Thanks for looking!

I enjoy this piece a lot, Daniel. I love Wyeth's "Christina's World" and this definitely brings it to mind. The framing is graceful, while the light illuminates the women's form well. l/f
