Here are thumbnails of two images I've created; both are linked to larger copies.
This picture has an interesting history. It was created with a demo copy of a piece of software called Fauve Matisse in Grey. (See below.) The demo is mildly crippled; it will only let you create greyscale images, not color. The white lines were created while I was trying to figure out how to use the line drawing tool. Because of the color restrictions, it started out configured to draw white lines on a white background. I just assumed it didn't work, and went on to try out the spray can. This allowed me to spray the background grey, thus revealing the pattern of lines. Fortunately, they fit in with the idea I had for the image. I guess this is the computer equivalent of "found art".
This is the second picture in a series. The pictures in the series are linked by a striped pattern across the upper left-hand corner, and a stick figure in the foreground. Each picture includes an allusion to a more famous work of art. I'll assume you can all figure out the allusion in the current image. If not, you'll have to make a visit to the East Wing of the National Gallery in Washington, DC.
The original images in the series were done in watercolor. I didn't try to reproduce the original (by scanning it or a photograph). Instead, I created a new image directly on the computer. I used Draw 5 from Micrografx. The software is fine; however, a mouse is a terrible instrument for drawing pictures.
