Technique Tuesday!
Floral images are often great subjects to play around with in Photoshop and other image-editing software. Just when you think that everything has been done with a flower that can possibly be done, you find some new digital tricks that you’ve not thought of before.
Although I like “plain old plain old” flower photos, […]
Make Art Monday!
I can hardly say the word “poppies” without hearing the voice of the Wicked Witch of the West as she croons, “Something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye—and soothing to the smell! Poppies! Poppies! Poppies!”
Anyway. I took this picture of poppies and other […]
Technique Tuesday!
It struck me after I had fooled around and painted the watercolor background paper, that it would be a really good backdrop for some of my pictures of Venice. I’ve been sorting through them, and I particularly love the doors and windows, weathered and peeling as some of them are. So I […]

Art Attack Thursday!
What a wonderful idea this is for a special gift! Threads In Time has an Etsy shop where she creates custom art quilts for people, using scans of their family photos. She writes:
I will then create a fabric and mixed-media collage using an artful variety from my antique and vintage collection. […]

Bear Lake Trail
There are only a few steps used in making a surreal landscape like this, but that doesn’t mean that it’s fast and easy! I spent more time on this piece than on many that have far more steps. Take you time and play around…it’ll be worth it!
Open your original image […]
Our guide at the Priscilla Catacombs was quick to inform us that they were a burial ground, not a place that the Christians met to avoid persecution. This was the only place that we took a guided tour (besides the glass factory on Murano), because the lighting is dim and the tunnels are twisty. Every […]
Make Art Monday!
Sometimes it’s well worth reaching back into your own archives and revisiting something. I went to hike the Rockies with my family when I was in high school. I love this particular shot taken from Bear Lake Trail, and I’ve used it for several different pieces over the years.
So, how about […]
I’ll share with you a tourist secret that I learned from my daughter: when you want to visit the Colosseum, go and visit Palatine Hill first. The line there is shorter, and the pass you buy will get you into the whole area. When you do make your way down to the Colosseum, you’ll be […]
One of the most moving sites we visited in Vatican City was St Peter’s Basilica. Again, as a church, picture taking is limited, although it’s allowed in most areas without flash. Being extremely phobic about heights (and averse to two-hour long lines), I declined to go up into the dome.
In the picture below, which I […]
