Oak Tree Transfiguration

“The oak trees are undergoing a stunning transformation as their leaves shift from a deep hunter green to vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, and gold-ochre. This seasonal change creates a breathtaking tapestry of colors that signals the arrival of autumn. As the leaves begin to fall, they blanket the ground, providing a rich carpet for the wildlife that thrives in this environment.

Acorns are cascading from the branches, providing a vital food source for the squirrels that scurry about, gathering their winter provisions. The ground beneath the trees is damp and fertile, enriched by the recent rains that have soaked the soil. This moisture not only nourishes the roots of the trees but also supports the diverse ecosystem that flourishes in this wooded area.

Above, the sky is filled with clouds, hinting at the changing weather patterns that accompany the fall season. These clouds create a dramatic backdrop for the colorful foliage, enhancing the beauty of the landscape. As nature prepares for the colder months ahead, the interplay of colors, sounds, and scents in the air serves as a reminder of the cyclical rhythms of life in the forest.”

Fluid Symbolism Palette

Fluid Symbolism Palette. Digital art created on canvas. October 10, 2024. Afrika Abney When I create my digital abstract painting, it is important that I ensure that the colors are not overpowering one another and that each color's symbolism is conveyed through harmony and fluidity of brush technique. In this abstract digital painting, I used vibrant colors. Each color depicts a specific meaning. Purple represents dignity, while yellow represents optimism. On the other hand, gold-ochre and orange represent creativity. Lastly, red represents determination.

Pure Serenity

Pure Serenity. Digital art created on canvas. August 18, 2024. Afrika Abney The findings of my research indicate that the color white carries connotations of calmness, comfort, and hope. My evening commenced with the creation of an artwork titled Pure Serenity, an abstract digital painting that reflects my artistic vision. I initiated the process by laying down a pristine white background, which served as the foundation for the piece. This initial layer was crucial, as it provided a clean canvas that would enhance the vibrancy of the subsequent elements I intended to incorporate.

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hired me to provide a specific service from 1995-2018, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 I no longer provide educational, career day and free services. It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.
