April 3, 2012 Come Set A Spell Painting This is a photo I took a number of years ago and posted as a daily (last year, I think). But today I used Corel's Painter Essentials 4 to make an oil painting of it. It isn't apparent in the regular view size, but if you look in larger sizes, you can see the oil painting effect. I then went back in and touched up some of it.
April 1, 2012 Furminated Samson Ah, Sam. Someday we will look back on this and laugh. Remember the day I furminated an entire pomeranian (or two) off you? The spring 'blow out' is just one of those things . . . And no - none of this is from cutting his fur in any way! I didn't even get to trimming his feet or anything else. This is just from raking his undercoat. His spring blow out this year is just nuts. Hair everywhere! I think he will be much more comfortable now, though. Spring break this week, so hopefully (*crosses fingers*) I will have time to look at all your lovely photos I've been missing! I've also been working like crazy on my Zazzle store (link here below) to create posters and canvas wraps: www.zazzle.com/artinphotography* Miss you guys! Kara
March 19, 2012 Mayo Lake Here is my ummm... monthly .... shot. I just can't keep up with a daily by any means this year, unfortunately. This is about all I can manage and keep my head above water! So sad to have missed all your beautiful dailies and I hope to have time this coming weekend to peruse them. UPDATE: EDITOR'S PICK, betterphoto.com, April 2012, Nature & Landscapes
