Model portrait (spanish) 2010

Modelportrait(spanish)2010

Dear Everyone:


This is the latest entry of my
image of a model from a
fashion magazine. Her face
is highly stylized. Almost like
a Japanese geisha. She
happens to be Spanish.
Truly a work of art.


Enjoy.


Helen.

Dear Everyone:

Every week or so I have the
impulse to drive downtown
and do some shots.


This morning I was sort
of wired to go and shoot.

I'm pleased with the results.

The children's chalk drawings
on the sidewalk are reminescent
of famed Inuit artist Sheojuk
Etidlooie. Childlike and graphic
and simple.
The jogger continues my shots
of individuals exercising.


The workmen look sort of
honourable and hardworking.

The attractive box of petunias contrasts
with the rundown look of the house
behind.

Enjoy.

Helen.

Folk Art Bird (Common Grackle) 2010

Folkartbird(commongrackle)2010



Dear Everyone:

In a recent telephone conversation
with my mother she was describing
the birds coming to her bird feeder.
Her description of a grackle
caught my attention. In the sun
she could see the irridescent bronze wings.

This is my folk art painting of
the common grackle.
The flowers in the painting
are lime green and fuchsia
pink petunias from a friend's
garden pots.

I hope you enjoy this image.

Dear Everyone:

Shot these Easter lilies on
the same day as I shot the
hydrangea.

Signs of fall are arriving.
Advertisements for
fall clothes, the fall issue
of Vogue, and registering
for fall courses.

Hope you enjoy these shots.
Tried to not rely entirely for the
most part on single bloom shots.
Wanted a 3D effect again.


Helen.
