A bit of my photography

We spent the weekend out at our camp in the Whiteshell and I had my telephoto lens on my camera. I decided to do some tight photos with it and sat down in a thicket under some trees and got some really beautiful shots. I love composing close ups like this with a telephoto lens as it looks like you are up close to your subject but you are not and if you include some of the surroundings they add a soft dreamlike appearance as they are mostly out of focus.

Sorry I haven't posted many paintings lately. I have been focusing heavily on my card blog. As usual I am always all the way into one thing or the other. I actually have some big plans in the works right now but I won't let the cat out of the bag yet. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. It is actually sunny here today, FINALLY!

 

Poppies

Seringhetti Sunset

African Violets

Welcome to my newest blog. I finally decided it was time to branch out and have a blog set up solely to showcase my paintings. I am slowly realizing over time that I am in fact flighty and that I often flip flop back and forth from one medium to another. This I am sure makes it difficult for viewing. Prairie Fairy will now be all things stampy and my pictoral art will be here. I hope some of my artwork followers will follow me over here! I will be slowly uploading my artwork from Prairy Fairy to here. Thanks for looking. Watch for more to come!

Fire Flowers 1

This is the first in a series I am doing called Fire Flowers. I am really into collage and acrylics lately. I love the impasto effects with the collage and the acrylic combined.

Old Barn

This old barn reminds me of the farm on Bear River. I love old barns, I look at them and picture past gernerations passing a simple life. I think we could all learn to live a little simpler.
