Wonderfulicious Wednesday

Where has May gone!? 
Last thing I remember it was March and mom had passed . . .
And now June is upon us! Gads! 


Perhaps the time has flown due to a timely class that I'm deeply immersed in
 Susan Tuttle has a new online class, Mobile Art Mastery
that appeared just when I needed something to lift me
out of a dark place. 


Both of the above images are based on Lesson 1. Dad built about
60 birdhouses a few years before he passed in March, 2000, the year mom
started disappearing into Alzheimer's. 
For years I've wanted to use photos of the birdhouses in my work. The lesson
called for using a house or building and extracting it from a background
and blending it into a landscape. 
The first piece is of the Salton Sea; the house, sunset, tree, and
birds were added.

The landscape in the second piece was created using
two images. The line of trees needed a foreground  . . .
The sun, foreground tree, and textures were added.



Lesson 2 images. Enter iColorama!
Oh my! This is only one of the 
myriad of effects that the 
app is excellent at doing.


A leaf of chard above and 
succulents below.



Complete departure for me! Multiple apps were used
to create this image of a statue photographed in
Rome, 2009. 


Another lesson using multiple apps.
Orvieto, Italy, 2009.


For years I've wanted to learn how to combine images
and now the mystery has been solved. Yay!



Two more images based on the 
same lesson. 




Haunted Cemetery Lesson, or in
my case, Haunted Pompeii. 
Multiple apps used along with images
from my collection including two vintage ones. 
The image of Pompeii is one I consider to be
an outtake and one reason I rarely delete photos; you
never know when one might be the perfect photo.



Using what I've learned in some of
the lessons I created the photo below. 
Evening Sky.

August Happenings

 Feather fabric sun print. Painted fabric. Machine Stitched. 
Painted canvas board.


 Jumble of leaves on work table.
Some of the leaves have been scanned or photographed
 for digital or fabric work.


 During the rainstorm last Sunday an outdoor circuit died after an extension
cord tripped the reset button. Mind you
this is the circuit that the fountain, drip system, and outdoor lights are plugged into.
There are now 3 extension cords running across the yard to the fountain; sitting water
is a magnet for mosquitoes carrying West Nile.
I miss the outdoor lights at night but not nearly as much as I'm missing the automatic
drip system! Triple digit temps and hand-watering . . . well, I could either whine about
it until an electrician can come to replace the circuit or turn the unpleasant time into photography
sessions. I always say that there are photographs everywhere and to prove it I shot
the above one this morning. iPhoneography at its best. 


Digital piece. Trio of leaves. Acrylic painting. 

I still can't figure out where July went! Anyone 
have a clue?
