Double Bunny

I found this rabbit sculpture at a garden center, added some hearts and handwriting and that's about it. Not for sale. ©Carol Leigh For more photomontages, please visit http://www.carolleigh.net Thank you.

Fishing Boat

This one's a combination of fishing nets photographed in San Pedro, California, rusty metal shot in Newport, Oregon, and part of a mural, also in Newport. I'm fond of the warm colors and the overall coastal/nautical feel. Not yet available for sale. ©Carol Leigh. For more photomontages, please visit http://www.carolleigh.net

Checkerboard Hearts

The "guts" of this piece are two photos I took in Astoria, Oregon — one of a painted piece of metal and the other of a heart that was spray-painted on a car. I added a strip of checkerboarding, some handwriting, blended and blurred and that's it. Not yet available for sale. ©Carol Leigh For more photomontages, please visit http://www.carolleigh.net Thank you.

Shallow Water 9

A lot of different stuff went into this photomontage, including a number 9 from a train car, my neighbor's brick chimney, some graffiti (also from a train car), cancellation stamps, a bit of torn paper, scratches and blendings, shadings, and more. What appeals to me is the overall scruffiness, texture, and grit, along with the feeling of warmth. Not yet for sale. ©Carol Leigh

Fly South 1

A bronze compass "S" shot in Newport, Oregon combines with an airplane wing photographed in Tucson, Arizona. I then added, here and there, window reflections shot at Empire Mine in Grass Valley, California. A rusty cog sits on top of blue peeling paint, found on the Oregon coast. Silver medallions, rivets, numbers, etc. complete the look. Not yet available for sale. ©Carol Leigh For more photomontages, please visit http://www.carolleigh.net. Thank you.

Antiques

A close-up of peeling paint on a fire station wall in Seal Rock, Oregon combines with a wall I photographed in Palouse, Washington. When I shot the wall, I also took close-ups of some of the individual letters, which is where the "Q" comes into play.
