Texture Tuesday

This is my piece I did for Texture Tuesday. Hope is what keeps me going. I often feel like giving up but I still hope things will get better.



In All Things it is Better to Hope.

 

Excited!

I have just signed up to do a short course with Kim Klassen. I love her style of work and I'm hoping that as well as being able to take fab shots I will also learn how to use Lightroom. Not my fave program at the moment but then that's because I don't really know how to use it.

The course is called Start to Finish and it looks truly inspiring. Kim also does a range of other courses that also look fab. Maybe one day! Sigh!

I think I'm just going to have a go at Kim's Texture Tuesdays challenge. Back soon. x

Request

I was asked by my friend, Cliff to create a card from one of his images that could be used for Easter. This is what I came up with.

I'm not too good at doing religious stuff but I hope this is suitable.

I am now the proud new owner of a new Digital Art set up. A new, faster pc, a much bigger monitor, a new printer and a new scanner.

I have been doing lots of learning and even some teaching.

I'm loving the vintage look with scanned, vintage papers. Denise Love of 2 Lil' Owls has some fabulous textures and vintage papers. Go and check out her site. You won't be disappointed.

I am also trying to learn Lightroom although this is slow going. I can see the benefits of it though. I am now taking all my photos in RAW mode, except for those taken with my Pentax as that doesn't have that function.

I have also partnered up with a photographer friend, Cliff Soden, and have been using some of his photos in my art.

Here is a piece I did using one of his winter shots. A cold, frosty morning at sunrise. Perfect!
