Meet Dana Payne Saunders ...


I would like to introduce 
 Dana Payne Saunders ...

She is a passionate, creative painter that I am proud to call my friend. 

She is like a writer with paint, every brushstroke tells a story. She asked me to do some digital art (which is seen on the left) to go along with an acrylic painting she wanted to create (seen on the right). 

I think blending our two visions made for a vibrant finished piece.
 I just love this painting knowing it involved two minds - and a great friendship connection.

Dana ~ It was a real pleasure working with you. I would love to do it again in the near future.

    Thank you Kristine! It was great fun to work with your photo and very interesting to see how the painterly process evolved from the photo. Your digital art inspired me to use an additive medium with my acrylic paint to try to replicate the mood of your photo. It's not exact, but I learned something in the process. And sometimes the process is just as important as the finished work. That's why 2 creative minds mixing their processes can be so much fun.

      Thank you SO much, Dana ... I am so glad it was as fun for you, as it was for me. Love how two minds can work on the same project and bring so much variance ... So glad you also learned something new through this process ... As I mentioned, please keep me in mind in the near future - I would love to work with you again!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Picture Frame Friday ...

So, These are the benefits of having your own blog - Usually, On Fridays it is Poetry Friday but I wanted to change things up a bit. I thought I would write regarding a question I have been asked quite frequently these days. How do I decide the a photo is worth taking? Or how do I know that it will be a good shot? I came across this photograph (above) and thought this would be perfect to help me explain. Many times I have an imaginary frame in my mind of what I want my photo to look like. Off to the left a bit, off to the right, etc - I also tape the LCD display before I go out shooting. I learned this years ago, and it has really improved my work.  (It keeps me shooting - An average shoot on any given day is approximately 100 shots.)This way, I do not waste time checking photos. It forces you to save that work for when you return home. This way, you are not deleting pictures that may please you on the computer, but not in the camera. Hoping these tricks and tips help you,...
