Cat Portrait : ACE WIP #1
Here’s ACE (Andy’s Cat Extraordinaire), zoomed up close and tightly cropped on a 4″ x 4″ chunky canvas. I’ll be painting his portrait in oils, similarly to Annie, Momo & Callie’s portraits.

Cat Portrait : Cuddles WIP #1

During editing, I wanted to take it grayscale for the drama, but opted for select color saturation so her big brown […]

Junco (junk-oh.) and … snow?
It was an unusual sight, one that made me gasp and grab my camera. Usually, Junco‘s are on the ground. They stay low, so I’d never seen a “full-frontal” like this before. It took me a minute before I realized what kind of bird he is! Here’s another photo from more of a top-down angle. […]

Ascending, Slowly.
When she was young, she had dreams. In her dreams, she was hardworking, successful, and organized. In her reality, she was at the bottom of the totem pole. Unknown, she was shoved back down at every attempt to reach up, and get out. With a lot of effort, she began a slow climb from up […]
