Flip Scape

(c)2012 Ralf Schulze
So I haven't been idle with  the art stuff (even though I've been working a lot).

Last few days I've done up about 10 new "starter" sheets with paint.

This one is still from the old batch.

I didn't sign this one because I think it is equally good upside down.

This view is the sea scape.

This view is the desert sunset.


















This is the paint only view.

This one was an experiment.  After starting it I trimmed it down to 5" x 9".

I also was thinking, as I was creating it, that it might look pretty cool in the negative!  And it does!
