Len Len and Lou Lou

I met Len again today! And I finally met his pug, Lou Lou! How lovely!!!

I made a painting of Len and his pug (I did not know her name then) some weeks ago and forgot to post it here. Now that I have seen Lou Lou close up, I think I can draw her better!

I am gonna make more portraits of them soon. Currently working on another series of caricatures....can't wait to make more portraits of the people I meet near where I live.

2 free cameras (part 2)

 so I played around with the 2 free Kodak cameras and had no idea how to focus on things consistently. I guess I need to understand them better and only use them in the best lighting conditions! Here are a few shots!

this is one of the few that I managed to focus, when using Close Up setting. I love those dandelions!


this is taken with the 10 mega pixel camera, which has those weird horizontal lines in some of the photos. It is not doing that here, and the colours are pretty saturated, which is lovely.


this looks nice but hey, those flowers are white and pale yellow!  

this is a normal looking photo that came from that weird 10-megapixel camera. I just wanted to show this plant on our front deck, which I think is beautiful.


OK. so the verdict with these 2 cameras that got thrown out - now I know why they got thrown out.  I still like them, especially the 4-megapixel one, and will have fun experimenting with them! BACK TO PAINTING!
