An oldie but a goodie.. A photo taken spring 2007 of my daughter under the blossom tree.
Tried something a little bit different this time. What do you think? / / This one is for Paul Tupman / / / / / / / / / / / /
I’ve bought six new IKEA glasses but one of them got broken when I washed it for the first time. Of course, I wouldn’t just throw it away, as well as my daughter couldn’t throw away a Camellia blossom she has found fallen at the ground two days later… / I believe these two imperfect subjects made a perfect combination. What do you think?

Saltspring Island, just off Vancouver Island, is a peaceful spot to go to simply enjoy the beauty of the water, the sea birds, and the fir trees. And the Northwest’s plants are in their glory there! This watercolor painting is of one of the very colorful rhododendrons we found there one spring. “Autumn Gold” is its actual name. This image is available for purchase as a print and can be obtained by contacting me through Bmail. Painted on Arches 140 lb. cold press paper, using primarily Daniel Smith watercolor paints, along with a few from Winsor & Newton.

Featured in – The Birds, February 7, 2009 I can’t help but dream of summer, and much warmer temperatures, when I look at this image. This piece consists of 6 layers (the background, 5 different layers of pretty lavender blooms, and an adorable little american goldfinch). After merging all of the layers in PhotoShop I digitally painted the entire piece in Corel Painter X. My intent with the goldfinch was to make her look like a baby, that had just left the nest, and was still looking for Mom to bring her some food. / / Fine Art Gallery / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST
Featured in The Birds – Feb. 15, 2009 / I can almost feel it. Spring is JUST around the corner. It’s such an exciting time in Canada after a long and cold winter. The lilac trees bloom putting forth the sweetest scent and the hummingbirds return to our property after a long migration. Yes, Spring will be here before we know it. I can’t wait! I spent countless HOURS last summer, sitting in a lawn chair, ever so patiently waiting to try & capture one of these little darlings in flight. They are only 7-9 cm long. While hovering their wings beat 55x/s, 61x/s when moving backwards, and at least 75x/s when moving forward! / / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Processing info: / This image started out with 3 photograph layers (the lilac background image, a female ruby-throated hummingbird, and the tail from a different photo of the same bird). I took all of the original images with my Canon DSLR. After removing the background around the original bird photos I merged all of the layers in PhotoShop. I digitally painted/blended the entire image in Corel Painter X using the Impasto Depth Smear brush at 30% opacity. I cloned out a distracting branch in the upper left corner and performed blend # 2 work on the main lilac blooms, hummingbird, and the largest leaves using grainy blender 10 brush at 38% opacity. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST
Featured in the group Freedom To Shine – June 09 – Thank you so much! Was out in the garden when I saw this box of fallen bougainvillea blossoms someone had swept up. Couldn’t resist popping the baby in there. Taken using my Canon 400D, natural light. /
Did this for a “purple haze” themed comp on inspi.re – enjoyed it. Still learning how to do this type of thing…
I do so love Iris’; I think their sleek lines,exotic color, amazing scent are all incredible….I really tried to capture these qualities here; I hope you enjoy this as much as I. This is best if viewed in large format . This image is copyright protected and registered:MCN: C69A4-49856-C34BA / Please respect copyrigts. /
This is a collage of actually four separate images merged for this final effect….my take on Spring….. / This image is copyright protected and registered:MCN: C5009-0C518-DDDDE /
Every time I visit my mother, I come home with lots of beautiful flower photos, too many to choose just one, so I decided to put several together in this collage I’ve named, “Garden of Eden,” because that is exactly what Mama’s yard feels like! It’s a sight for the eyes and a soothing balm for the soul. The image of the cardinal sitting on the statue of Jesus is from my yard; there is a very old cardinal who loves to rest there. I think he’s got just the right idea. No better place to find peace!
Bored and needing some new “material”, I headed outside with Nikon D300, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro and SB800 flash. After blinding multiple insects, I settled down at my blooming Hydrogena. Amazing what nature will “paint” for us.
As the sun colours the flowers, so does art colour life / ~John Lubbock, British Statesman…1834-1913 / He also said, (and I love this quote) / “What you see depends on what you are looking for….” / Nikon D70 / Nikkor lens18-55mm / ISO 200 / Natural light
FEATURED IN THE IMAGEWRITING GROUP I held Time in my hand once… / It gathered the light of the sun / And filled itself with life / It’s rainbow of colours seemed only for me / They warmed my heart / And nourished my soul. / My eyes opened to its simple joys. / I held time tightly / but as gently as I could. / It seemed it would last forever / But each petal soon tired and fell / Carried away by the winds that blow. / (They are always hungry for change) / Yet the center of time has held fast / To a stubborn stalk that endures / The settings of the sun, / And the winds that always blow… / So I hold fast / And can reach easily through time / In both directions / But it is here… / Now… / That I find peace. / I can smile / With the sun on my face / And remember / The birth of my soul. / ~ Karen Tillotson /
This is a collection of my pictures. I love to work with textures and to lend quite a new charm with it to the blossoms. IF YOU AN OTHER ARRANGEMENT OF MINE WORKS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANNOUNCES YOU SIMPLY TO ME
it’s nearly spring, here… / 15 august 2009.
Trying new things… I do love these flowers and it seems lately I have a thing for polka dots, thought I might trying combining the two. Also, I wanted to try using a slow shutter speed to increase the dof in my macro photography – this was a 5 second exposure. Camera Model Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL / Shooting Date/Time 2009/08/29 03:59:55 PM / Shooting Mode Manual Exposure / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 5 seconds / Av( Aperture Value ) 29.0 / ISO Speed 100 / Lens EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM / Focal Length 100.0 mm
Captured here in Anderson, CA in my front year on 08/23/09 – Please view in large format for optimum viewing pleasure….I love the contrasting Morning Glories, as this particular Hummer was pale in comparison to some of his family… / A little too square for the card, but distorted if I resized….
