In Search of Sunflowers

June 29, 2014 Filed inFlowers,Landscape,Out And About,Photography

blog_28a_jun_2014DH and I set off today in search of the Sunflower Fields at Draper in South Carolina.  Not having been there before we were kind of navigating by nose to find them amidst the 800 acres that comprises this wildlife area.  Turns out that we were a tad early with most of the fields being just in bud and not in bloom.  Even so it was not a disappointing trip as the fishing ponds were pretty to photograph.

blog_28b_jun_2014And there were a few early entries in the blossoming stakes….

blog_28c_jun_2014Another week, maybe two and the fields will be AWESOME to photograph…. so a return trip is definitely on the calendar!
(Note to anyone thinking of visiting… be sure and wear good boots or sturdy footwear. There are lots of ants and probably other slithery things in the fields!)!!!

The Fat Cat from Soreze, France

June 24, 2014 Filed inDigital Painting,France,Out And About,Photography,Photoshop,Workshops

blog_24_jun_2014The quaint town of Soreze, France was one of the first stops for our students on their magical mystery tour of the South of France earlier this month.  As we passed down a quaint cobbled pathway we came upon this lovely ginger boy, perched upon his windowsill amidst pots of geraniums and checking out the photography lasses with much interest.  He was quite the perky and photogenic chap and posed for a few pictures before his master, less than delighted with the interest through his windows called him inside and shut us firmly out.

Still you gotta take your moments while you may and a few of us caught several happy snaps of this fat fur baby!…. who  definitely proved worthy of a little painterly attention and digital immortality.

I did a rough underpainting using Corel X3 but most of the painting has been done in Photoshop CC.

joanne thieme huffman - An enchanting window view.

Chris - Howdy my friend! I’ve been thinking of you a lot and wondering how your workshop went! Lots of changes, but I wanted to catch up with what you’ve been doing. I will try not to make a comment on every post, but I know I’m going to be wowed like I have been with this kitty image. We’ve got a kitty now, and I’ve become a major fan.
