Hello, I'm J D Owen - glad you stopped by to visit.
I've always doodled and drawn, but when my sister gave me a lot of her old paint brushes I found a better avenue for creative adventures. I made a lot of paintings and found that abstracts are my favorite style. After about 10 years passed I was feeling creatively blocked and a friend suggested I should try just playing with the paint. Be a little boy in kindergarten again, pour on a lot of different colors of paint, make a big mess, get dirty, splash paint outside the (mental) boxes. So I placed a canvas flat on a table and started pouring on lots of paint and just started experimenting and making a big mess with it. That first experience launched me on a path of discovery and exploration that continues to this day. Now, years later, my art has blossomed into a variety of avenues stemming from those basic techniques. Every new painting is still a learning experience and the quality is steadily increasing with the experience gained.
In the last year I have made another leap in creative exploration. I start with an original painting, then scan it into my computer and manipulate it with photo editing software. This gives me the tools to turn an already beautiful painting into awesome works of art.......................
