Oil on Canvas
Amazingly there are 20 species of Magpie in the world. Not quite sure which I have painted here… looks more like an Australian magpie Many people consider them superstitious, they certainly have their place in folklore, some believe they bring good luck, others believe bad. I remember being played Rossini’s Thriving Magpie when I was quite young; it is said they have a panache for shiny, silvery things which they like to steal and hide. / Here the magpie has found a key! I wonder where it came from? I see him as a ‘Keeper of Secrets’. / The selected text comes from a traditional rhyme I was told as a child: One for sorrow, Two for joy, / Three for a girl, Four for a boy, / Five for Silver, Six for Gold / Seven for a secret never to be told This is an acrylic painting on canvas.
Oil on canvas. Size 24” x 57” In the group “All Things Orange Artwork Gallery” this painting won 1st place in the the challenge “Radiant Orange Flower”.

This photo has not been cross-processed properly, apparently. However, I’d never heard of cross-processing until recently. I’ve read that the term started by developing color print or slide film in the wrong chemicals – for example, color negative film in slide chemicals or slide film by the color negative process. This causes wild color and contrast shifts and requires lots of trial and error. for more, see Dana DiPasquale’s forum page. Apparently a group exists for cross-processing experts, as well. / / However, playing with the RGB channels certainly stretched my tendency for more realistic, staid photos! I played with this photo last night using Sue Wickham’s method and the tutorial that Mary Campbell posted. I used curves and RGB channels in Photoshop and Nikon’s Capture NX2.1 software. / / This is the Capture NX2 version, with a bit of a vignette blur from efex. Original: Nikon D200, Nikkor 70-300mm, 145mm, f/5.6, 1/1000sec, -0.3ev., ISO 200, manual exposure, / Converted from 12-bit RAW to jpeg. Manfrotto tripod. / 2025×3037px

I was today in the daytime garden collectsing the strawberries, I took with the same pics my beautiful californica poppies.

Artists Note: Once upon a beautiful day… this pretty white mare thought she might wander through the poppy field. Birds fly overhead as Autumn gently approaches, a gentle breeze blows poppies in the wind. A simple vintage dream-scape I hope you’ll enjoy. stock: poppies horse

Red Poppies
..a creation for Remembrance Day the poppies depicting the soldier’s blood… / “They went with songs to the battle, they were young. / Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. / They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, / They fell with their faces to the foe. / They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: / Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. / At the going down of the sun and in the morning, / We will remember them”. ... .....
