Lucille Ball Revisited, Hollywood, 1936
Lucille Ball Revisited, Hollywood, 1936
Some of the verbiage on the back: “Slim and luxurious is the gold lame gown modeled by Lucille Ball in ”Follow the Fleet,” [the] new Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical.” Offered with varying lampshade colors. Stars from the background were used in several other artworks.
I digitize old black and white photos and create color compositions; digital paintings. It's more than simply colorizing. I strive to create art; a visual gateway to the past, but in a new and different way. This all started in 2006 in Palm Springs where I had an art gallery. Street scenes from black and white postcards were the most popular and have won the most awards. Two examples are Chi Chi and Cubana and Radio City - Hollywoodland. I love doing people too, as you can tell.
Look for the red Live Preview banner in the lower right hand corner of this screen. It might take a second or two to appear. Click on that, and you can view this image on ten sample walls, or even Upload a Photo of your own wall as a background to view the art on! Directions on how to use the Live Preview are available here. Have fun playing with something really useful!
