Lazy Daze Report

Well there were some highs and lows for the Lazy Daze Show on Saturday. The low being I didn’t sell much, but the highs definitely over shadowed that fact. To my great surprise and joy I won a Jerry Miller Artist Award! There were only six given out for the show and they are theContinue reading “Lazy Daze Report”

More Dragon’s

Well this is apparently the summer of the Dragonfly. I spent the long July 4th with family in Tennessee. Since most of the men of the family enjoy fishing and everyone else at leasts enjoys being outside on a beautiful day, we spent some time near a mountain lake. While they tried their best toContinue reading “More Dragon’s”

Dragon’s Still Fly

I have been out of town for the past month, and so have fallen a bit behind on my blog posting. But I am back in town and ready to create! I am looking forward to some uninterrupted studio time. But that will be posts for later… I may have been out of the studioContinue reading “Dragon’s Still Fly”

Tiny Beauties

While the show in GA didn’t result in many sales I did have the time to take a few photos. I always bring my camera with me, just in case. I was glad I did. Sunday morning (before the rain set in) my mom and I wandered through the show looking for tiny beauties.  Continue reading “Tiny Beauties”

Birds in the Snow

We had a small snow shower last week. The very pretty, but melts soon kind that causes very few inconveniences:) But I could not resist taking some photos of the birds that were swarming around my bird feeder. I might have had to stand in the snow for 30-40mins with a cold, wearing pajamas andContinue reading “Birds in the Snow”

Merry Christmas

I know it is Christmas Eve but I just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported me this year. It has been a good  year and that wouldn’t have happened with out all the support and appreciation people have shown. So thankContinue reading “Merry Christmas”

Thanksgiving Break

I took a bit of a long Thanksgiving break. It was much needed and much enjoyed. I spent a lot of time photographing over break. I actually spent some time teaching my mom to take photos-off of the automatic setting that is. I have discovered in the past couple months I enjoy teaching people howContinue reading “Thanksgiving Break”

Fun at Fayetteville Botanical Garden

Before I began painting and going to art shows I used to spend a lot of time photographing. I carried my camera bag everywhere. It was my purse. I lugged a Nikon D300, two lenses, a flash, batteries and yes even a collapsible tri-pod-EVERYWHERE! I think it weighted at least 10 lbs. I thought ofContinue reading “Fun at Fayetteville Botanical Garden”

Chickens

Chickens. They may be winged and feathered but make no mistake they are not your average birds. These birds of the barn yard may not fly, may not tweet or sing beautiful songs but do not under estimate their beauty and character. After spending many hours photographing in the chicken tent at this years stateContinue reading “Chickens”

More Peru Fauna

Well I posted my pictures of the domestic fauna yesterday, but I had some photographs of the wilder varieties that I thought I should post as well. I am just not much of a grand vista photographer. I prefer smaller subjects-and I enjoy the hunt. I stalked the chinchillas shown at Matchu Pitchu. I hid behind rocks,Continue reading “More Peru Fauna”
