My gosh time goes by WAY to fast.  I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted on my blog.  2022 has not been a good year so far.  In January, I came down with COVID and was down for a couple of months.  It was something I would not wish on my worst enemy.  I ended up losing a bunch of weight (which was not a bad thing) but didn't do it the right way.  I'm doing fine now.

In February my grandson Braxton was born 7 weeks early.  He spent several weeks in the NICU but overcame the problems and is in perfect health now!  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a beautiful day!

I've been experimenting with light and shadows in the paintings as well as photos.  Here are several new paintings that are not in the shop yet.  

Thanks for visiting.  Until next time, peace and happiness.

I know I've talked about Kim Klassen and the Inner Circle before, but it bears repeating that if you haven't checked it out you should.  The Circle can be found here.  We are currently working on kicking our instagram up a notch.  Kim has tons of templates and super helpful information that she very willingly shares.  You NEED to check it out!

These are a few new images from the Nikon Z6.  I am still loving the camera and itching to shoot so that's a good thing.

 Hi all.  My head is currently exploding with all the possibilities from my new Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera.  I had been shooting with the Nikon D90 and there is absolutely NO comparison when it comes to the Z6.  The D90 is a crop censor and the Z6 is full frame....what you see in the view finder is what you get (even as far as exposure, etc.)  I feel like I have come out of the dark ages  LOL.

Everything is so crisp and clear.  There was very little post processing involved.  And the absolute best part.............with the help of an adapter I can use all my current lenses.  I am just blown away!

 Well it has certainly been quite a while since I've updated my blog.  I'm not even sure why except that I lost my mojo a while back and I'm slowing recovering it.  The last year has undeniably been a strange one.  Covid...vaccines...masks...staying home.  I got my vaccines in April and had about a week of feeling crappy.   Since then all has been good.

During the last year, I have been experimenting with digital artistry.  It's been fun and has given me hours of entertainment.  I search Instagram for beautiful photos and then I try to recreate them with digital watercolor elements.   It's a challenge and most of the time my image looks nothing like the original photo LOL.   Below are a couple of examples of my work.  I have a shop on Etsy (PDCreations) where these "paintings" are sold.

 

 I hope y'all have been well over the past year.  Talk again soon.  Until then, stay safe and happy!

 Hey all!  I've been working on something new and wanted to see what y'all think.  I'm creating calendar desktop wallpapers.  Try out this one for September!

 I'm beginning to work on Christmas gifts.  This month in the Inner Circle we have been creating calendars for 2021.  How appropriate for me!  

I've  created a few so far...just a peek.

Would love to have you join us with Kim Klassen at the Inner Circle.  A great group of talented, kind and fun people.

Thanks for stopping by.  God bless and have a wonderful day!

It has certainly been a while since I've blogged.  Everyone blames everything on the "virus" but my problem is that I have been VERY unmotivated (if that's a word) to do much of anything.  It seems that not much keeps my interest for very long.

In the past month I have joined Kim Klassen's INNER CIRCLE.  The Inner Circle is a group of talented and caring people with whom Kim shares herself, as well as her knowledge, techy stuff, presets and textures, and a number of other things.  There are classes, challenges, a forum and a ton of "stuff".  There is something for everyone.

Being in the Inner Circle has inspired me to create new artwork which I am now selling as digital products.  From time to time, I'll be listing items for purchase directly through my blog.  This is basically a testing to make sure I've got it all set up correctly.

This item is a digital download of the Come Fly With Me print.  There is no frame included.
