    • Under construction, more categories are to come.     		Painting image quality. I photograph my painting with a high-quality Canon camera with a good lens. When the photo is taken, the camera records the image in Raw and Jpeg. Most of the time, I select the raw file, open it with specialized software like a dark room, and process the file to match the painting image. The photo is resized to the painting's exact size in inches and saved as a .jpg file at 300 dpi (dots per inch) and 100 percent quality making the file very large. 300 dpi is for printing. The painting image you are looking at is 80 percent quality and 72 dpi, much smaller than the image used to make prints.

    Fall - as Above So Below with Apple.

    Symbolism - I've been asked about this in these paintings. Here are my thoughts:

    The saying "as above, so below" is an ancient quote that means what happens in a higher realm also occurs in a lower realm. It's often attributed to the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, an ancient document that influenced Renaissance and Enlightenment philosophies.

    The apple with a bite in it is eating the forbidden fruit. To know more than ignorance (higher consciousness) might be seen as the forbidden fruit. I believe it is our reason for being, but there is a price for that - no longer in the garden of innocence. Knowledge doesn't equal happiness; it is knowing the shades of light and the difference between them and dark.
