(c)2006 Elton Houck...This work is mixed media..It bagan when a photograph was taken of a young couple at a cafe in Mexico..Yes that is a photo of the artist Elton and his wife Sheila when the couple was very young in a galaxy far far away....the photo was shot about, as I recall, the year after the Civil War ended...or somewhere near that time...anyway, it was in the ancient days. From this photo, we add the technology of the cyber age and paint onto the photo and present a combining of the new and the old... (

BEAUTIFULLY DONE ELTON.Fred Chuang 20 Feb 2006
Lovely Couple...nice idea...I feel like this is only the first step in this exploration. There is power to the "restraint" you've exhibited in your metamorphosis, so far--I especially like the chaotic rainbow textured background, and the hot pink is almost "monochromatic, in tune with the b&w feeling. But I have a feeling that if you start corralling your thoughts about the moment and the context, you'll make even more "pointed" transformations!!Alberto D'Assumpcao 20 Feb 2006
