My Latest Photos

Some newish photos. These have been on my deviantART store since the beginning of March, but I am still working on updating my web site to show them. With these, I'm finally getting to some photos that I've wanted to offer for sale for a long time. I hope you like them!

Sunburst: Strawflower
(orange and black border, other versions without border or with white border are also available)

White and black options have been added to my other flower close-ups too. I plan to do more like this so people can mix and match for a series.

Raccoons

Sunset at Jenkin's Creek
-------------------------------------

I took some great photos this past week of a sunset on the lake with the ice formations that are melting. It looked like a very alien landscape! Hopefully I'll get some of those up eventually, but I'm more in the mood to look through my Spring flowers again and get those up first.

Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Art Class Reminiscing 3

Ok, another old piece, since I haven't been working on new art. Oh, I do have new photos on http://kerstitch.deviantart.com/ though, that I will blog about properly soon.

Back to this artwork. This is from grade 9 or 10 (14 or 15 years old) More than half my life ago! lol The object was to put a grid on a magazine photo and copy the photo square by square at the same size. We were only supposed to look at one square at a time. This explains some of the random direction pencil lines I have in the "black" areas which shows up the "grid". lol

But otherwise it turned out pretty good and I got a perfect grade on it - I think the only one on an artwork that I received. The singer is Ricky Nelson. This was done with a regular #2 school pencil.
