Free Art Show

It is common knowledge that exposure to certain forms in art can uplift the spirit, that color can supply a quick boost of beauty and can deliver a short but fast distraction from negative emotions. If you, as an organization, could present these wonderful immediate benefits to your medical  patients, customers and employees, quickly and easily supplying these things, why wouldn’t you provide and sponsor a ‘boost of beauty?” to the people you want to help and care for? Now you can.

To that end, as a fine art photographer, I have created a
Free Online Art Show
Here are 10 of my photo masterpieces

Weird dream

AI generated photo, to illustrate the story

I had a weird dream. I dreamt that I was editing images of a red planet. A red planet? Mars? The scene kept on repeating itself, me editing images of a red planet. Why would I be dreaming of editing images of Mars? What did it mean? It made no sense. I do not edit photos for NASA. Or any astronomical organization. Where did the images of a red planet come from? Why did I have the images? Why was I editing them? Strange dream. Weird dream. What could it possibly mean?

An idea popped into my head. Why don't I look up the meaning of the dream online. Not that I expected to find the meaning of dreaming about editing images of a red planet. Oh, wait a minute. Why don't I try AI? Maybe there's a online AI dream interpretation site. I looked on google. There was an AI dream interpreter. 

I went to the site and entered my dream. "Editing images of a red planet." Here is what it said

"Dreams can have personal meanings and can vary based on individual experiences and emotions. However, here are some possible interpretations for editing images of a red planet: 

1. Exploration and curiosity: The red planet could symbolize Mars, a planet associated with exploration and discovery. Editing images of it may reflect your desire to learn and explore new territories or ideas in waking life. 2. Transformation and creativity: Editing images represents the act of altering or enhancing something, which could signify a desire for self-improvement or personal transformation. The red planet's color may symbolize passion, energy, or creative impulses. 3. Unresolved emotions: The red color might also relate to intense emotions, anger, or frustration. Editing the images could represent your efforts to find ways to cope with or modify these feelings. 4. Ambition and goals: Red is often associated with motivation, power, and determination. This dream may reflect your strong ambitions and your commitment to achieving your goals, especially in areas that are currently unexplored or uncharted. 

Remember, the interpretation of a dream is subjective, and it's important to consider your personal associations and feelings towards the symbols in your dream when trying to understand its meaning."

Wow! That was a pretty good, pretty accurate interpretation! From AI. From an artificial intelligence source. I was impressed. And a little scared. AI read my mind. AI interpreted my dream, the inner workings of my inner mind. And I generated an AI photo to commemorate it.

Welcome to a new world. An AI world. Luckily, this time AI helped a human. Me. 


Painterly photos




I created a collection called "Painterly Photos". It's a collection of selected fine art photographs from my Fine Art America online portfolio, photos I created which give the impression/illusion of a painting, drawing or other brushwork art. Take a look.

How to

 How To Buy Art

What is a good way to buy decorative photographic fine art?

Find a work(s) of art that you love. 

Decide on a size. 8x10. 16x20. Larger?

Check the price of that size.

If you can afford it, and/or are willing to pay that price, buy it.

Put it where you can see it, everyday. Enjoy your new art...for the rest of your life, or whenever you decide to change it.

Start here: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/andrewlawrence?tab=artworkgalleries 



my process


My photographic process has 5 main steps.

First, I find something(s) to take a picture of.

I shoot the picture(s).

Later, I transfer the picture(s) from my camera to my laptop.

I edit the image(s) using 3 different photo editing apps. Depending on how many images I took editing can take hours. Or days.

And sometimes, as a 4th editing tool, I also use AI, artificial intelligence, to further edit a photo.

After editing, I evaluate the results. According to my own artistic standards I select the acceptable finished photo(s) and upload the final product(s) to my online portfolio at Fine Art America.

The entire process can take hours. Or days.

Some of my fine art photos end up in my computer trash bin. Some are deemed more or less acceptable and kept, not utilized but saved as final images on my computer. Some are deemed good (or great) and end up in my portfolio. I never know what the result will be until I finish final editing.


Realism

Photography does not have to be realistic, does not have to reflect real life. Fine art photography can be, well, art. Here are 2 examples, 2 fine art "pretty bird" photos I created in November 2022.
