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.

Sometimes I look at your work and I hear the voice of John Cleese in my ear saying "And now for something completely different." This is excellent. An image that draws the viewer's interest. And then there is that third person.

A terrific drawing, Andrea, with the two lovers massed in the center, and all that 'radiating' line work coming out from them as if to "glow" around them. And the plants sprouting from between them. With (yes) a face in one of the flowers (Mark). Lots of intensity and massing in the meeting of lovers and plants; and then space all to the side and above. Masterful work, Andrea. (Plus, who can resist those noses and those heavy duty hands. Even the way the guy's arm barely fills up the sleeve. Terrific.)
I'll be back for more, but I think I did 10 this time. (Not enough, but I do see everything almost the hour it goes up. And I'm sorry, once more, about Fritz. I'll really miss him, as I assume all of you do.)
