Looking Over the Hills

This is one of my husband’s photographs: looking over the hills at the beautiful countryside of Ohio.

Prints available.

Sheep in the Field on Autumn Day

Here’s another photograph of the sheep grazing in a field. What I really like in this photograph is the Autumn trees in the background. Of course, the sheep are cute too!

Light and Shadows Across the Road

Check out the light and shadows falling across the road. I love that time of day when the sunlight comes through the trees causing golden stripes on the road. It especially looks beautiful with the orange and yellow Autumn leaves.

Bunny

This little sweetie lived in our backyard. We usually have many rabbits in the backyard, but this bunny liked to stay right near our door where we could carefully view it every day as it came out to explore and eat. I love the diamond on its head.

Sheep in the Hills

Look at the light on those hills! A zigzag of golden light across the landscape. I love it! I also love seeing the sheep graze in such a beautiful and natural area. We got lots of shots from this area, and I’ll definitely share more.

Prints available here, and here for the black and white version.

Leopard Digital Painting Time-lapse Video

As promised here is the art video of me working on my recent digital painting of a leopard. This one is interesting to me because I enjoy seeing where it started and eventually ended. This artwork seemed to stay in that “ugly stage” for a long time, but all came together in the end, and it always feels good when that happens. I also have a tendency to jump into details before I get down the form, and you can see me make this mistake in this video. I started on the face and got too focused on it, and it took me a while to finally pull away and try to lay down some color on the entire Leopard. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video, and if you do, please consider subscribing to my channel because I have many art videos planned for the future.

Leopard Art

I finished my new Leopard artwork. This is a digital painting, and I’ll provide a video of my work tomorrow. The Leopard is one of my favorite animals of all time. They are so beautiful, strong and graceful.

I have prints available here.

Mourning Cloak Butterfly

My husband and I hiked in the woods a few years ago hoping to do some photography, and this little butterfly crossed our path.  It is called a Mourning Cloak butterfly, and I had never seen one before.  Now that I think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one since.  Maybe that’s why I like this picture so much.  I also like the somewhat neutral colors not only on the butterfly but also the background.  It’s very different from some of my other butterfly pictures which tend to have bright green and blue colors.

Prints available here.

Purple Rose Abstracts

Here are my Purple Rose Abstract images.  I really like how they turned out, but they also have special meaning for me.  As you know anytime I get flowers I try to photograph them as a way to make their beauty last.  These flowers were sent to my family from my mother-in-law when my dad passed away, so they will be a memory of kindness and compassion for me.

I have a cute story that goes along with this. When I was photographing the flowers I noticed a caterpillar was living inside the petals.  It was in the middle of winter so we couldn’t let it outside in the snow, so we put it in a shoe box with plenty of leaves, sticks and water, and it eventually turned into a moth.  We couldn’t believe we were actually able to keep it alive, and we kind of felt good about letting it live out it’s life cycle.

This first image shows what these rose pictures may look like on a wall, but I’ve also posted the individual pictures. Prints are available here for those interested.
