Black and White photo, sepia toned, hand painted colour, subdued orton effect. Will post others here also.
I really love to spend some time working on a photo, at least once a week, the minutes turn to seconds, I relax and man have a great time, I love painting my black and white photos, something I taught myself to do as soon as I picked up a camera seriously !~ Used to paint on paper also, so used airbrush colours, enamels, crayons, oils and pastels, whatever I needed to get the desired effect. The colours always had to pop off of the paper. The second one I had a large one in my living room at one time, used airbrush colours and oils.

I think you are extremely talented Phil!...:-)

Great work as always!!

Great use of shadow and light. I looked at that first pic for a while. Tells a whole story...love those kind of photos.
Hope you are doing well Phil...
Love the Magic !!
Thank you for the comments everyone, Vetraio50 thanks to the link to the great show, its wonderful how they wanted to manipulate photos as soon as they first came out, it was a real art !~
The 3rd image is of Laura Lynne who now works as caricatures and clowns or also as bunky the clown. I like to paint with crayons, airbrush paints and regular acrylic or oil when I get the chance.
You are very talented Phil, I just purchased a hand painted photograph! I will post it later today for you to see! It is by Sydney Laurence, Alaska's most famous artist! My son is very talented artist and plays great piano! toracat
