Colorado - "Together Forever"

  Around this time of the year I post a Christmas blog, but with my illness, I haven't been out there much.  So this year I'm posting this piece "Together Forever" of my art work. I took the photo and had a black and white print made. I then paint it with home made Q/Tips that I make out of cotton and tooth picks. This image was printed 24 x 36 inches on metal. It, looked so good that is sold at an auction, for "Walk With Me", for $1,000. It is dedicated to my wife, Pam.

Colorado - B & W Photos painted with hand made Q-Tips.

 I recently finished some freelance work for a new client. The job required me to photograph certain locations and then hand-paint parts of the image. I use Marshall's Photo Oil Colors, painting parts of the photo with Q-Tips made out of tooth pikes and cotton.  Here are some of the images.

Painting B & W photos by only using handmade Q Tips, as my brush.

 Each year, around this time, I publish my latest hand painted pieces. After shooting the image, I get a B & W print made. Using Marshall's Photo Oil Colors and hand made Q Tips, I paint the photo. Once the piece is finished a high end scan is made. This file is then used to make limited addition prints (100) for sale. If you see anything you like, give me a call.

A New Piece of Art Work "Ski Fence"

After taking a real nice image, I get a black and white print made. I then use Marshall's Photo Oil Paints, using only QTips that I make out of cotton and toothpicks, to paint parts of the image.

Once it is finished, a high res scan is made and then a limited number of prints are up for sale. Check out more of my paintings by clicking on the "Ken Papaleo" icon on the top right corner of this photo blog and then click on the photo on the right.
