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!Â
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! Â
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.

Your doodling is always a delight. What fun to get to color your own stuff! I bet this was big fun to do. :)

This is super! I love the title, and yeah, shocking pink shorts are...well...I think they are one of the elements of art that remain under-appreciated, at least in the "Western World." Now, go somewhere like Prague or Moscow, and well...you get shocking pink shorts, emphasis on the "shocking" bit. I love the little details: those feet have character all their own, and the person they belong to has...well...wonderfully colorful fashion taste. Pink shorts...orange shirt...yeah...nice. Very nice! You do these so well!

You was worrying about your garden back home! Great image made me smile!

Not sure what caught my eye first--his outfit or his huge feet ! LOL. Hope you had as much fun as the enjoyment this brings me. Awesome doodle art work Andrea.

I love it, great fun piece. Sometimes there is great value from going back to older work and maybe improving upon it, or changing it completely, the original remains but you ultimately get a new piece with updated ideas too.

Cute doodle, gave me the smile I needed, especially after the last few days of bad luck I've had, I sure needed one, thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure which is more shocking, the shorts or the legs in them. Looks like he's(?) about to take a dip. You really do have a wonderfully creative mind.

Andrea, I'm at an hour and a half now, so I have to stop. I'll be back for more (I'm trying to go chronologically). I'm skipping ahead to this, so I can end on one of your drawings. Now that I've thought more about your sculpture, I can see where you get such tactile 3 dimensional drawing-figures. This guy, like all your drawn humans, is very sculptural! I love those 'andrea feet' (that's Tara's and Helle's term, btw, not mine), those wonderful scrawny rough legs, the long spindly arm, those 'shocking pink' shorts (they really do them louder in E. Europe? I'd love to see them!) (I'm referring to chip's comment, above), the big sculpted earth-craters, and the big angled plants---it's a total delight. And I don't know if he's cut-off at the top because you lost the upper half or intended him that way; but I LIKE that he has no head! A portrait of his spindly legs. My father wore shocking pink shorts in his later years; he figured why not, "I should make an impression," he said. It took me a while to get used to them, but they were a lot of fun. What is it about American men, once they pass 60, that they start wearing pastel hued clothes that clash, pull their belt-lines near their larynx, wear white patent leather belts all of a sudden (oh man, with all those colors???), shoes that clash with the whole outfit, and smoke big ugly cigars? Sooooo attractive. Do they do that in England? I knew men like that---GOOD men, DECENT men---who, when they walked in a room, you wanted to whisper "God? If you EVER see me dress like that, STRIKE ME WITH PLAGUES!" Anyway, this is a delight. Hope you find more, I love your drawings.
