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.

As John Cleese used to say, "And now for something completely different." Charming and humorous, it brought to mind a song recorded by Lee Ann Womack, "I Hope You Dance".

Love what you do with blown-inks. Yes, shellac inks are better for this, but you got real body in these creatures: Undersea, insects, and just your imagination. Love all the antennae that end in "dots". A big tangle, formed by dancing creatures, in moving liquid. I'll be sure to tell Helle about this, this is the type of stuff she loves mess with. Terrific job, Andrea. I didn't mean to do nothing but 2D, tonight, but I started with it, so I thought I'd go all the way. The deep reds and greens here make really strong contrasts. Love it!
(To end, more links---you're gonna hate me!---but these are Saul Steinberg again, with one of his great insect drawings. They remind me of yours. The rest are just his playing around---he had some things in common with you, for sure, so here are a few:
