In 2005 my digital painting took on more importance. Up till now I had seen it as a sketching tool (see the
development of  "Grow Your Own Android"  from sketches to final canvas below). The image sizes in my version of Dogwaffle did not print well to any reasonable size and so I did not see it as a method of printmaking. During this year with the encouragement of James Spence of the Glasgow Group, I developed methods of expanding the pixel count and producing images that could be adequately printed on A3 size. Maybe it was because these images could now have some use that it gave me a creative spur in this area. The results you can see below.

Burning Thistle Dogwaffle Variations
       

These are examples of how I use Dogwaffle and a digital camera to produce variations on an ongoing painting. Extreme right is the finished canvas. Extreme left is the canvas at an early stage. Centre are Dogwaflle variations while producing the work. Mainly this saves me time. Instead of spending 3 or 4 hours glazing down an area I can do it in seconds in Dogwaffle and decide whether or not to do the same to the original.
