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.

Add a crest on the pocket and you could have a school uniform. Charming is also the word I'd use.

Fantastic Andrea! You make it look so simple!

these should have a lot more comments! I love this type of drawing, because you use several types of patterns in one drawing---her shirt/vest (whatever it is), the striped tie, the skirt lines, the bracelets, the patterns under the window, etc. And lots of white space. And your signature hands (like your feet) and nose, etc. Sculptured, 3D. (As in 3 dimensional, not as in 'render-based'.) Another terrific random portrait, with a kind of semi-posed lady, and a moment of expression (taken from human moments, that is). Wonderfully done, Andrea. I meant to do more of your other subjects, but these drawings are such a treat, I couldn't resist.
It's a little over 90 minutes (in your gallery), and I have to go. It's raining and cold, but I have to get to appointments. I hope to be back here again before I leave again, but boy it's always a joy to comment here, because I can spend time with your work, ruminate over it, etc. Wonderful stuff. I hope you have a wonderful November, and I wish you continued inspiration each day. I love your art!
