1950s Embroidered Photos

Photos by the late, great E.A. Autrey.  Printed 8 1/2 x 11 on Hiromi MM-5 Shiramine paper, then embroidered.  Color pencil added to the top picture only.

I like what some artists are doing with found photos and added embroidery.  But, I'd rather work with photos taken by my father, than pictures of people I don't even know.  So as not to upset my siblings, I'm forced to work on pictures of myself - not because I'm an egocentric person, like some people I won't name, who should not be running the country.

Layered Blurry Photos

The experimentation continues

Taking Appealing Blurry Photos is Harder Than it Looks!

Anticipating a very stormy, blurry, weekend, I ventured into the backyard today, while the sun was out, to experiment with blurry photos using my Nikon digital camera and a 100mm macro lens.  More results are here:  https://www.facebook.com/lucyautreywilsonart/

From the Known Past to the Uncertain Future

Homage to the Talents of J.L. Autrey

Somehow some of the fabulous creatures drawn by my mother Jean L. Autrey have shown up in a photo I took in the Presidio on Sunday.

Limantour on a Windy December Day

It was so windy at the beach yesterday, the sand was moving in waves towards the sea.  Cold, clear, beautiful.
