I am often asked by people if I have prints of certain paintings in my archives.  So often, I do not.  Ten plus years ago when I started painting and selling my art for a career, I did not have a camera that could take pictures with high enough resolution to produce quality prints.  I am lucky to get small prints of some.  A few have been successfully digitally remastered as well.  But my “Koi” were a no go on both fronts.  The piece above has been very popular for me as a commission and I absolutely enjoy painting them!  However, I wanted to be able to create prints as well.  So I painted one specifically for this purpose.  Now this piece can be enjoyed in a massive size!  Enjoi the koi!

Black Magic!  I have really enjoyed creating my Black Magic pieces for many years and recently I discovered a cool way to make them even cooler.  I digitally inverted them so that the black in the magic is now white.  They look totally different this way and the effects have been very popular.  These are now in homes all over the world.  Black and White is so clean and neutral.  These would look good in just about any space.  Enjoy an old favorite in a new way!

Walking along Lido Beach with my husband waiting for that last glimmer of light, I see some children playing in the surf.  Two little girls and one boy squealing with joy as the waves splashed at their backs.  Parents were chatting and pointing at the horizon.  This guy was a whir of activity with limbs going every which way and toys thrown about.  He payed no attention to people passing by.  Then for a split second….just a small moment, he stops and looks at the setting sun as if to say……not yet…I am still having fun.   I cannot believe I captured this….

So I wanted a nice shot of a puffer fish to add to my collection of Tropical sea creature art. How hard can that be? They have puffer fish at The Florida Aquarium. I paid my 22 bucks and headed for the tank. They had 6 beautiful little puffy fish to choose from. Camera at the ready and it was off to the races…literally! These guys are fast flitting about the aquarium at lightening speed. Snap….snap…snap….I took over 100 photos. Surely I had some great shots somehow.  When I got home and downloaded all of the images almost all of them were just blurs. I could make out eyeballs here and there, but not a fin in sight! Until this one…the “magic” shot…be still my beating art.
