Fun Animal Graphics

Ever wonder how animals celebrate when we aren’t watching. Could this be a goat Fraternity party?

Two images. Two completely different moods.
Ghostly Dawn explores mystery and atmosphere, while Meadow Monarch celebrates the quiet strength of wildlife surrounded by brilliant blanket flowers. View them Number 33 Gallery of Arts in Venice, FL.
Although their stories are very different, both pieces were created from original photographs combined with digital artistry to evoke emotion rather than simply document a scene.
Photography records what I saw.
Composite photography allows me to share what I imagined.
Which mood speaks to you more—mystery or tranquility?

Designing a reusable triptych template from scratch.
Instead of relying on pre-made layouts, I built this triptych by creating a simple template that can be reused for countless image collections. By combining selections, alignment tools, and layer styles, it's easy to create perfectly spaced openings with clean borders that keep every composition balanced.
Once the template is finished, dropping in a new set of photographs takes only seconds. It's a great example of how spending a little time creating a reusable design can save hours on future projects.
What subjects would you showcase in a triptych—birds, flowers, travel, pets, or something else?

You are invited to come and find out how these stories are created from multiple photographs with a little help from Photoshop. Today August 22 33 Gallery of Arts, 325 W. Venice Ave., Venice, FL 10am-2pm. Hope to see you there!- Kathleen

Photography captures a moment. Composite photography creates a story.
This newest gallery installation Number 33 Gallery of Arts brings together three very different scenes connected by one idea—ordinary photographs transformed into extraordinary moments.
A neighborhood porch becomes the setting for an unforgettable goat gathering. White birds fill the sky with graceful movement, while another flock turns a quiet European street into an energetic Flamenco performance.
Every image started with photographs I captured myself. The storytelling happened later, one layer at a time.
Which scene would you step into first?

Birds... but not as you've ever seen them before. All are celebrating. New Art Installation Number 33 Gallery of Arts .
These three pieces celebrate elegance, humor, and just a touch of mischief.
Friends gather for cocktails through a glowing window. Birds turn a downtown fountain into their own evening celebration. Another group enjoys drinks together on a quiet beach as the sky fades from blue to green.
None of these moments actually happened—but every flamingo, background, and element began as one of my original photographs.
Sometimes imagination simply rearranges reality.
Which scene is your favorite?

How do separate photos become one seamless image? Find out this Saturday as I demonstrate Photoshop compositing techniques Number 33 Gallery of Arts 325 W. Venice Ave., Venice, FL. 10am-2pm.

One photograph became an entire story.
The light-painted barn was only the beginning. By combining individually photographed animals with a little imagination, the scene transformed into Barnyard Bash—complete with a smoking goat, a Harley-loving goat, a beer-drinking goat, and one very relaxed pig.
Composite photography lets me create worlds that never existed, while using photographs that absolutely did.
If animals could throw a party, who do you think would be the life of it?
