Lovely 'photos, well done. Thanks, but I think nature and wir illustrious Victorian forebears take the credit.... I don't like 99.999999% of modern technology because I don't see any of it as necessary. But I do like the fact that digital cams - with video - are now so prevalent. I like taking photies, and my god what a hassle it all used to be. Much easier now. And cheaper! |

I started oil painting a year and a bit ago and I take a lot of 'photos too and as you say the new digital stuff is phenominal and it helps me with my wee bit of art.

The light that day was quite, quite wonderful, and I was able to just point and snap... even though my cam is packed wi features I haven't a clue how to use and don't understand what they are and didnae have a clue what I was doin. Roamin in (nearly) the gloamin, on the bonny drumlin high |

Westie, I am not good enough to do it from memory so I have maybe half a dozen or so 'photos of what I decide to paint and the 'photos help me, then I add artist's leeway (usually 'cause I feel I've made a mistake) It is enjoyment for me.
If you wish to see my paintings let me know, you are very welcome to see them.

Roamin in (nearly) the gloamin, on the bonny drumlin high I live on another drumlin a mile or so up the road from KG, in a very old part of the WE, and one of the best things about autumn is when the leaves fall and you can actually get a keek at the architecture that's been hidden all summer. Loads of remedial stonework going on in this neighbourhood at the minute, and it's stunning (if expensive  ) to see the buildings looking as pristine as when they were built back in 1880. |
