Gallery: Digital Painting by Audra D. Lemke

I created the artwork on this page using mostly digital drawing/painting methods (In some pieces, I added a few vector elements, or used a few filters for special effects). None of the images below were created by altering photos.

There are links to close-up detail images for some of the artwork. Please stop by and see them, as it's often hard to see the wonderful details on the screen when looking at the whole art image. Some of the large detailed pieces, like the Alice ones, would look their best as a large print.

NOTE!!!! Any "framed" digital painting images below are are available for purchase (in the form of prints, cards, t-shirts, gift products, etc.). Clicking on the artwork will take you to Redbubble.com.

"Flying Cards Dissolve Alice's Dream"

DETAIL IMAGES: "Alice", "Human Cards and White Rabbit"

"Painted Roses for Wonderland's Heartless Queen"

DETAIL IMAGES: "Cheshire","Roses", "Card, Rose, Ghostly Suits","Rabbit and 'Queen of Hearts'"

At the Queen of Hearts' garden, Alice met three card gardeners (Five, Two, and Seven of Spades) who curiously were painting white roses red. They had planted a white rose-tree instead of a red one, as expected by the Queen, and feared that she would cry "off with your heads!" Shortly afterwards, the Queen of Hearts arrived with her procession, including the White Rabbit. A croquet game is started, and the Cheshire Cat's head appeared above Alice.

In this interpretation of the garden scene, the Queen of Hearts's wrath destroys card after card and leaves a trail of ghostly suits - clubs (soldiers), diamonds (courtiers), and spades (gardeners), but sparing the royal children (hearts). In the book, Alice saves the three gardeners, but here the Queen sends ghostly 5, 2, and 7 of Spades billowing away. The Cheshire Cat appears in the sky, grin first, and remaining partially transparent. The White Rabbit stays by the Queen as her herald. (Copyright © 2011 Audra D. Lemke).

"Alice's Ambivalence"

DETAIL IMAGES: "Alice1","Alice1 Face", "Alice2","Alice2 Face", "White Rabbit", "Hot Air Balloon"

Alice enjoys her world of childhood, yet wants to understand the rule-ridden and confusing world of adults. She sometimes feels confident about growing up, the path ahead of her, but then also feels hesitant and uncertain at times. Here, the White Rabbit starts the journey for the two sides of Alice, and the Queen of Hearts looms through the clouds like an ominous dream. (Copyright © 2011 Audra D. Lemke).
