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.

(you'd have to bribe me with a lot more than digestive biscuits to get me to stay in this pose...and today? I'd never get out of it...) Intense! I recognize the oil pastel texture: It's like wax crayons, only much better. (It's wax crayons after they've grown up and gotten a job.) Really intense modeling, the greens of his shirt are modeled with great intensity, as are his pants; and those dark browns and purples (arm, neck, etc): You captured anguish in your hues alone. Heavy stuff, Andrea. Big feeling. With bits of your humor, though. (His feet strike me as having a bit of humor in them...a bit.) Powerful sketch, esp in full size.
