Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

What a beautiful arrangement of flowers, the use of the mirror in this shot is a great idea, this really works so well. I love the glass vase too.

This is a more "normal" flowers in the house piece. And it's beautiful. Because of your pov, the stairs and upstairs emerge out of an ocean of flora. And the grayer shadowed tones up there are fine contrast to the saturated hues of your flowers. And I see the postwork, and you've made the flowers and leaves stand out in a painterly way, and also in a graphic way. You're so easeful with your postwork, you seem to put it on wherever you feel it, with nothing but intuition as your guide. And it all culminates in that big shiny black vase: Where all activity comes to an end in a big Orb. It's really well composed! It flows from one end to the other. And that black vase is really the hub of the piece, with that big bold reflection in it. Also, I love the black door-opening to the far right---perfect harmony with the vase (blacks-wise). Beautiful work again, Andrea. And I don't know the name of a flower to save my you-know-what, so where you and others get all these botanical names I don't know...
