Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

This was a commission piece. The buyer requested a southern feel. I love texture and whimsy so I went with live oak trees at dusk when the fireflies come out to play. I used a mixture of acrylics, oil paints, modeling paste, and glitter.

Title or Location: King Pierre
King Pierre was an evolution. I had started my canvas as a landscape, inspired by a waterfall I had photographed. But the image would not flow the way I wanted it to. I let the canvas sit for a day or two before revisiting it and flipped my canvas upside down to get a different perspective. King Pierre was something I had drawn and before I knew it he was coming to life with paint, glitter, and Mardi Gras festivities. Letting myself change the canvas into something else reminded me to keep it fu

Title or Location: Forged
Edited from previous submission (my apologies): Forged was one of the first paintings I completed post-divorce. I had a great deal of fire inside of me that needed to be released. It was important to convey heat and strength, fire and ashes, but at the center a bright light that was pushing through. Everyone who looks at this painting see something different, angel wings, a forest fire, even passion. But whatever one chooses to see, it evokes a feeling. And that was what I wanted more than any

Title or Location: Demon or Savior
I created this during the Covid lockdown, around 2021 when I actually had Covid. At one point, confined 24/7, i took a handful of tramadol intent on committing suicide. Fortunately, I suppose, my husband called 911 and eventually ended up in the psych ward in Baton Rouge for a week. This painting is the result of that experience. It's visceral and painful and expresses my trauma during those days. The more I look at it, the more I see.
