Dance of Lupine and Birch



Dance of Lupine and Birch
The month long (June) Lupine Festival in the Northcounty towns of New Hampshire is one of the most beautiful experiences a flower lover can have. Sharing the roads, fields and trails with other lupine lovers provides one with a bonding experience that you will never forget.

The image above, "Dance of Lupine and Birch" is a pure capture with one slight alteration. In finishing the image I converted the entire image to a monochromatic (black and white) image and then restored color to everything except the birches. This "purified" the whites of the birch trees and created an interesting contrast between the trees and the flowers.

An original edition of 10 prints of this image is created, signed, dated and with a certificate of authenticity. The image is used for creation of an open edition but otherwise archived and kept only for historic purposes and publications. To purchase an original print ($495) contact the artist at waynedking9278@gmail.com.

The open edition, featured here is digitally signed with a special signature reserved for open edition prints only. It provides the closest approximation to an original work at a more affordable price, especially for those who love art but don’t feel the need to purchase original works.

My images are - to me - a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into a dreamlike quintessentialism designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, I seek to take the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams.

The Etherial Boulder

Etherial Boulder, Granite Dells, Prescott Arizona



This image is a mixed media image with elements of photography and watercolor painting of a large granite Boulder at the Landing on Lake Watson in Prescott, Arizona. The area where the photo is taken is known as the Granite Dells and is a remarkable geologic formation. On the day this image was captured the sky was a deep blue and cloudless. It made for a great image in a stock photography catalog but was without spirit or emotion.

To create this image, I took a beautiful cloud image, printed in black and white and then handprinted using watercolors. This was then scanned and added to the boulder image to give the sky a moody and soft feeling. Additionally, I used the dodging process to give the image a more painterly sensibility and a warm glow.

Only one original of this image is created, signed, dated and with a certificate of authenticity. The image is then used for creation of an open edition but otherwise archived and kept only for historic purposes and publications. To ask questions about the original you can contact me by email at waynedking9278@gmail.com.

Spirit Pony in a Flooded Mangrove

A mysterious white faced horse stands in floodwaters in a Florida mangrove. This alludes to Native American Indian legends that broadly exist among tribes from every corner of the Americas. The white faced spirit pony is an oft used allusion in my images. 

Two similar original images exist of this work of art, an image that has a flooded mangrove that is etherial but essentially a photograph. The second treats the mangrove forest differently using blurring, smudging and various methods of manipulation to create a more "painterly" effect with the mangrove forest. Each original image is created, signed, dated and with a certificate of authenticity. 

The images are used for creation of an open edition and posters but otherwise archived and kept only for historic purposes and publications. To purchase an original contact the artist at waynedking9278@gmail.com.
