DigitalWatercolors™ has been a hobby of mine for over 6 years. I started with a digital photo I took of the Montauk Lighthouse. After many experiments with software, extensions, etc. I ended up with a desirable watercolor effect. I then photographed a local tourist town, Port Jefferson and did the same conversion. After a while I ran out of my photos so I purchased Royalty free, Hi-Res Photos of different subjects.

AmericanaToday™ started over 12 years ago when I was Illustrating houses for local builders. Most of the art was Front Elevations. By adding a side elevation and adjusting roof, etc., it became a 3/4 view and created an illusion of depth. The patterns, textures and color were added later. Then I photographed each building in a local tourist town, Port Jefferson. I proceeded to illustrate the buildings similar to the houses, and thus Americana Today"-Modern Folk Art. The images are printed via an Epson inkjet . They take approximately 30 minutes to spool and another 15 to 30 minutes to print. They are 13" x 19" (the smaller print is 6.5" x 19"). I print them on Epson Watercolor paper with archival inks. They are printed as a Giclee.
