Mike's Artsy Stuff -- photos, digital painting, jewelry, videos

[Mike, Cedar and Reno]

I'm new to this group & have enjoyed looking at all of the pictures.  I always have something "artsy" going to balance the left-brained mathematics(profession).  Feel free to be critical.  A study found that mathematicians were the least afraid of being wrong.  I think that's because in solving mathematical problems, you take the wrong track a lot before finding the correct one.

I will now have to comment more of these entries!  They are terrific and your jewelry piece is just outstanding.

I love the little sand dollar, too!

[F, Calla & Luca]

You have done some lovely work. I especially liked the photos of boys and dogs and the bike and old car. It's easier to view things if you post the pictures directly in the discussion, instead of linking them. You can do that by clicking on the second icon from the left over your typing.

[Mike, Cedar and Reno]

Next time I will use that method.  Thanks for the tip.  Off to do(believe it or not) yard work :oÞ  It's not raining here so I have to take advantage of the weather.

[Linda and "Toby"]

Hey Mike! I LOVE your work - both the photos AND paintings! I'm so happy you joined our group!

What tools do you use for your digital paintings? Photoshop? Corel Painter? Do you use a Wacom tablet? If so, which one?

[Mike, Cedar and Reno]

Hi, Linda. I use Photoshop CS4 mostly, but also use Painter at times. I do have a Wacom tablet, but haven't been using it much of late. It's a kick to do both photography & the digital paintings. I enjoy it. I can't wait to get my new pup. She will be my favorite model for awhile :o) Thanks for the kudos.

[Camilla and Darwin]

Beautiful artwork, all of it!

[Mike, Cedar and Reno]

Thanks for the comment on the pictures. I notice that you do the grooming on Darwin. I will be doing my own grooming too. I live in the sticks so it's kind of by necessity, but I'm good at DIY stuff. I've picked up a lot of tips in the grooming group already and every day I seem to buy some new implement. Your dog looks great! I'll know where to seek advice when the first big grooming day comes.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

All three are just wonderful, but hands down, Hayden-Ranger is the most 'bestest' as far as I am concerned.  You should be very proud of your results.

[Mike, Cedar and Reno]

Can't miss with those two :o)
