Creative using photography and painting as outlets…also an awkward smartass.

Really wish I could say this was my image. But alas, I can only take credit in REPOSTING it 🤷‍♀️😊
Amazing weekend with short eared owls. We usually only see them in winter so most of my photos have white or blue backgrounds, but this weekend I struck gold. :)

REPOST of this beautiful pastel artwork that brightens up any day
#JanuArty Day 27 - RED - This poppy blossom created in soft pastel is a vivid red color that shows well against the green background. The lighting is a little dramatic. See my profile for links to prints & cards. #PastelArtist #art #flowers #TraditionalArt #BskyArt

Need to R E P O S T this one because…well, we all need it
This reindeer I met in Tromso is here if you need some emotional support.

Wish I could post everyday but life has a way of interfering with best intentions 😇

It’s been a day but managed to get home in time to post for #Scape that #EastCoastKin is hosting. My contribution is of Mt. Baker that looks like it’s just there but is actually way the hell gone over there across the Salish Sea farther inland. I was at Neck Pt Park, Nanaimo Vancouver Island

Jumping in mid-month. I spent several years painting wildlife - especially bears.

Going all dramatic with this red wing black bird, this morning. Again, I’ve layered textural images with my main subject image.

My shot of this great horned owl is just to let you know that I am trying to figure out this new platform with interest, intensity, and humour

So another one of my texture layer pieces. And of course I’m a day late in joining in…it’s one of my strengths 🤷‍♀️😏

One of my images done with texture layering…which is what I usually do. I printed him on a metallic canvas which just gives the whole an amazing depth.

This one is better if you click on it to see all of it. Can’t figure out how to post different sizes as I’ve seen others do 🤷‍♀️. So. This is another shot from Ucluelet. Thinking I’ll print this on metallic canvas and mount it on gallery wood panel.

The best shot, hands down, I’ve ever done of one of my beasties. This was Lewis. A true gentleman who has been greatly missed for 7 years, now.

Went to Ucluelet (aka Ukee) last week. Found some bull kelp and waves. This image has a few texture layers added. Discovered I cannot be too chatty on my posts...it’s limited characters 😱🤷‍♀️😏

Hey! First post! Quick intro…photographer and painter. Will post both. My photography, which this piece is, has a painterly look done with layering textural images with the subject image. …
