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.

Great characters, one & all. I doodle but not to this standard, more patterns.

Outstanding work Andrea. God bless.

Rather surreal with the disembodied eye. And there's you photo bombing your own doodle. I agree with the others, outstanding and funny.

Lol, Mark: I didn't even notice you photo-bombing the piece, but that could be you! It's great, because there were two composers with very similar names---Taverner, the Renaissance guy (who this pic is definitely not), and the modern Tavener, whose music I've heard a little of, which your piece has whetted my appetite to hear more of...
Love the random feel of the people, like you pulled off the street 10 minutes ago and told them to pose. The lady in back looks like she's about to jump in that hole, lol. And I love the big eye, the cracked wall, and the cat (or maybe wolf???) with the lonnng legs and gaunt stare. He knows he's in a whacked out doodle. And Tavener looks like a simple but orderly dude, with his short tie and slightly tight pants, and a great expression. (I love the little hair on top!) You pull off these surreal combinations very naturally. And I love the person in front, who seems to say, "hey everyone: Someones watching us!"

Outstanding. I wonder what went through your mind as you were creating this!

Lots of contrasts in the whole scenery and great expressions in all the characters. A lot to see here and it could be part of a humorous tale, or of a real tragedy, YES:)! This scene is spectacular, Andrea. Your drawings are UNIQUE!!! and you are so right about the concept of doodling:)
