These photos are about texture, composition, color, light and/or pattern. What was once ordinary is now abstract. Some photos were taken with my Sony F828 and those may have been altered in the camera by using the solarize setting. The others were taken with my Nikon D90 and altered using my computer. Macro photos (close-ups) may not have been altered, but are abstract of their own accord. ACEO (2.5"x3.5") 1of1 photos are limited editions. All other photos photos and posters are open edition.
Mountain Bike Ride Dreamscape Poster: Since Joel and I are into mountain and road biking, I had to alter at least one biking photo. The photo was taken during the fall, which helped add to cool colors. The way the photo turned out makes me feel like it’s a dream.

Ghost of the Turkey Buzzard No1: I decided to investigate some of the old ruins at Valley Forge and found this vulture on the other side of a chain link fence. Several of them live inside this old barn. Inspired by the Halloween season, I created this ghost-like image.

Impression of Zoe No2: Zoe is one of our Maine Coon cats. I purposefully altered this photo to show the texture and pattern of her fur. In fact, she’s trying to help me type this!

Cat’s Eye Abstract: Max is our black cat and he has amazing green eyes (yes, he is the cat in my logo). I worked with several photos of Max and his iris turned out the coolest in this one.

Raspberry and Green Abstract: In the beginning this was photo of moss that was growing in my yard. Sometimes we treat our yard with lime to get rid of the moss, but for the most part, my theory of lawn care is that if it is green and not poison ivy, it can stay. Helps the biodiversity you know.

Bird Skeleton Abstract No2: I took this photo a few years ago of a bird that had gotten trapped in one of our window wells and I decided to rework it in 2009. The bird is tangled in a cob web. I used digital effects in my camera and PC. There are 3 versions of this photo. The No1 (which is similar to this one) was sold as a 1of1 ACEO photo and is not available for resale.

Milkweed Seed Abstract: Something about this photo makes me feel connected to the earth. Contrast is important to many of my pieces, but this is a nice change of pace. It started as a regular photo, but then I started to play with it in my PC.

Giclee Photos: Giclee (zhee-clay) is a French word meaning a spray or a spurt of liquid. While any inkjet printer could fall in this category, some people say it has to be at least a 6 ink printer and others say the minimum is 8 inks. My printer has 9 inks. My photos are made on a museum quality sermi-gloss photo paper (which has less problems with finger prints) using my professional giclee printer. Older photos may be printed on high gloss paper. According to the manufacturer, the prints have a life span of at least 105 years. The photos should be handled with care from the edges and should be kept away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight.
Posters: Posters are printed on semi-gloss or glossy photo paper, depending on what I have in stock. The paper is lighter weight than giclee paper. All posters have a copyright notice (eg: ©2009 Valerie Evanson • www.evansonart.com) in small print, usually in the lower left hand corner of the image. The white border will not show if you mat the posters.
Giclees: Giclees are printed on oversized paper for easier handling and matting: 5"x7" image is printed on 5.5"x8.5" paper, and 8"x10" image is printed on 8.5"x11" paper. Giclees have a copyright notice (eg: ©2009 Valerie Evanson • www.evansonart.com • open edition giclee) that is NOT visible when matted.
Matting: none. Giclees and posters are printed so the image fits a standard mat without losing important parts of the image. 5"x7" fits an 8"x10" mat, 8"x10" fits an 11"x14" mat. 11"x17" and 13"x19" posters fit an 18"x24" mat, just make sure you get the right window size (hole for the art) for your poster. Some matted photos maybe available on Discontinued and Clearance Art page.
