You would never guess that I have a serious bug phobia. Even if you are afraid of little bugs, it doesn’t stop you from appreciating their visual aesthetic. I like butterflies and moths. I really do. I experience great joy when making these watercolor paintings. The problem is that butterflies do not respect my personal space. It is always such a bother when bugs land on you. So, my butterfly phobia is only tactile based. Now, I am going to talk about my paintings in specific. They are based on photographs I took of my garden. My garden is located...

Today, I wanted to show you some of my flower photos. I take a dozen or so photos when the opportunity arises. It has been raining a lot. So, I haven’t been able to get out much. This weekend I stayed at home. I made a few watercolors, but that is a topic for another blog. Most of my floral photographs feature roses. Whenever my rose bushes produce a flower, I photograph it. They always look different. The differences can only be appreciated if you look at all the photographs together. If I visit someone else’s gardens, I also photograph...

I did manage to get at least 30 decent photographs. The first few feature the doll with a green riding hood. The rest of the photos feature the doll without...

I recently got a new wig for my ringdoll bjd. The wig was made by Dollmore. It was a nice curly, brown, red wig. It changes the color depending on the strength of the flash.   I think she looks really cute with it. After brainstorming possible photoshoot ideas, I decided to do one based on Spring fashion.   The dolly is wearing all the colors of spring. I know because I used a color chart for it.   Sweet pastel colors invoke the spirit of spring. Of course, the color themes change overtime.   I chose to go with...

If I see a flower, I am compelled to photograph it. I never get tired of photographing flowers. They are ephemeral. You will never see the same flower twice. Of course, the way to tell flowers apart is to have a photographic record of all the flowers you have ever ran into. Most of my floral photography takes place in my garden. I have a couple of rose bushes and a papaya tree. I used to have more variety, but times are trying. I have been working more on my books and my art. For this reason, I have neglected...
