Party Girl

I made another trip to the Whitfil Nursery today and photographed this classical statue draped in beads standing in front of a trellis. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm, and I was smiling just like the lady  in the photo.

The Surgeon's House

This lovely house is actually a B&B which sits high above the Old West copper mining town of Jerome, Arizona and has fabulous views overlooking the town and valley below.

Garden Steps

AHB... I started seeing these initials describing a lot of the digital art that I was drawn to. AHB apparently stands for "Art History Brush," one of the tools in PhotoShop that can cause a photograph to look like a painting. This is my first AHB experiment using one of my photos from Filoli Gardens near Woodside, California.

Pink Dress

Today we went to a street fair in the Melrose district of Phoenix. This photo was taken in one of the antique stores that line 7th Avenue. I added a couple of textures to emphasize the dress.
