Every so often, I will relax and just paint on top of photos. It’s mindless. However, it can produce subtle and sometimes startling, results. I like the flatness it produces as it turns 3D space into 2D space.

I use photos captured from Unsplash and Pixabay. They offer copyright free stock photography. Sometimes I’ll take it further and combine unrelated images to make entirely new “photos,” but that’s for another day and requires more thinking. I painted the image above on top of the photo below.
