The Goodman’s Blog: Lifelong Learning and Sharing

Do you like this watch? I made it digitally.

We went to Giverny, France to visit the home museum and garden of this famous French Impressionist painter. Now run by a foundation, Monet’s Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens we have seen to-date.

 I made this watch souvenir to remember our visit there.

We visited the new Vermeer Centre in Delft, Holland. We had earlier seen his “The Girl with a Pearl Earring” in the Maurithuis Museum in the Hague. The Centre has a studio which simulated the window light that the Dutch painter used for most of his paintings.

I took the opportunity to pose my wife and tried my version of a Vermeer photograph.

I texturised the photo to simulate canvas and added the frame digitally.

I took these shots of lilies in Keukenhof, Holland, last May.

We arrived in late spring and by that time, most of the tulips had been cut. We were fortunate that in Keukenhof, they were exhibiting other flowers as well, such as lilies, amaryllis, callas and orchids.

This is the first time I have converted my photos into cubes. Other than editing the photos, it took me only 3 minutes to produce these photo cubes. How did I do it? I’ll reveal the secret in due time.
