Joy


 Joy, Photoshop, 2009

Oftentimes when I paint in Photoshop, I find that using the Transform tool to re-size my images, and the Crop tool really improves my compositions- helping me balance out my positive and negative spaces.

Basically I keep what I need, and get rid of what I don't.

On a side note, I feel like I'm starting to develop more closure or wholeness in my pieces- where I am able to get to a point and stop painting, because everything seems to fit. I feel that way especially about this piece.
