So to view each of my paintings at this website, simply scroll down each page from post to post (painting to painting) until you get to the bottom of the page. Then, right there at the bottom, click "Older Posts" to check out the next batch of paintings (on the next page). Go on like this, until you've checked out every one of my paintings!

"Bird", a digital medium painting by Andy Morgan.

Here's one of Andy Morgan's digital paintings that-- like all his other paintings in this medium-- he completed manually via the computer paint and touchscreen programs, applying the plastic tip of a pen barrel and/or pen cap to a computer touchscreen, very much like he or any other artist would apply paint brush to canvass to complete an oil, acrylic, watercolor, or chalk in the more traditional media. The painting is called "Bird". Andy spent a few days on it. He spends a few days on lots of his pieces. Then again, on some pieces he'll spend but an hour or so of time, and be done with them.

"Cardinal", a digital medium painting by Andy Morgan.

Another digital painting by Andy Morgan. It might be worth noting that the quality of computer touchscreens varies quite dramatically, expecially in respect to how accurately and sensitively a touchscreen responds to the artist's "brush strokes" when it's in "paint" mode. Andy used an old touchscreen that was of exceptionally high quality in that respect; the newer touchscreens available to him were-- still are-- quite nice, but an individual with exceptional artistic talents needs a touchscreen of exceptional quality, not a merely nice one.
