When I was at Block Creek Natural Area, I had a chance to photgraph quite a few birds and as soon as I saw this image, I was sure it was destined for the Fractalius treatment. That thistle had a lot of great geometry and I am learning that the better the geometry the better the results. Wish I had worked harder on that when I was in high school…OK, not really!
Enjoy this Black-chinned Hummingbird enjoying the thistle. Enjoy, more images at my site…HERE.

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.

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!”
