Geese as Art

I don’t often pixel paint two images at the same time, but I though that these would look together if you hung them together as a pair. I photographed these Snow Geese at the famed Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. Bosque is an all time favorite palce to photograph and it was the place that I went on my very first workshop. Coincidentally I am leading a workshop there myself this year. Maybe I’ll find some more painitngs. You should come and check it out, its is a terrific workshop, if I do say so myself! Here is the link for more information about the workshop.

More Cactus as Art

I have been re-organizing all of my images on to a single DROBO hard drive. Very nice piece of equipment. While I was going through the images, I found this cactus that was in bloom and thought it would make a nice bit of artwork. What do you think?

Cactus as Art

I don’t do too many landscape paintings mostly because I don’t shoot very many landscapes… When I was in Texas we were photographing birds from blinds and this is one of the features that they planted and hoped for birds to use it as a perch. When the light was getting soft in the late afternoon, I took this image of the prickly pear cactus and lantana. I thought it would look pretty good as a painting and this is what I created.

Painted Bunting as Art

I know I have not posted in a while,  but I have been off finding some great new images and working on PAW. PAW is the workshop company that I work with and if you are looking for a photography workshop, then that is the place! Check out their website, The Photographers Alliance Workshops.

I was in Texas for a terrific 10 days and made a lot of great images. You can read about my exploits, here. One of my favorites from the trip was this Painted Bunting. Not that a bird like this needs to be turned into art, but I could not resist. They call the Painted Bunting, “the bird only a 5 year old could color!”
