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.

Amazing what you turned a ink spot into, super well done Andrea.
I can understand why you kept it---its original, has character and it was made by you.

Oh, thank God, I thought you had started using an electron microscope! So this started out as an ink splotch and you turned it into a rather demonic looking flea? A superb rendering. Outstanding work.

I love these adaptation of blurb pieces of yours. I also love your "blow" art, like the one you did for Helle. (That was the bee's knees!) (You know that expression in Britain, right? I have no idea where it comes from, but it means "the best," in case you haven't heard it.) Love how you found a flea in this, and outlined all the important parts. And made eyes, and hairy legs, and even a hint of a smile. And then texturized it all, making it art on fabric. Terrific. I love the helle piece too. (I gave her some music privately this year.) It's been a feast to see all this 2D from you, after a long while. I've just loved it.
