Using yesterday’s post as an example, I thought it might be useful to show how I respond to a random image of textures (and in this case colors), how that image provides me with visual ideas that are then modified and developed in the final image, and how other visual information is radically changed or even completely eliminated in the process.

Leda: A progression from inspiration to completion.

Left: the original digital decalcomania source image.
Middle: a composite of the original and finished images.
Right: the finished image.

The process is just like looking for faces in the clouds.
