Photowalk and loss of a friend.

For the last week I've been sitting with my dying cat, Dipstick, until she passed away last night. She died of old age and was my constant companion for almost 16 years.

On a lighter note:

The 3rd Annual Photowalk in Smooth Rock Falls was great. The weather started out drizzling but it let up to let us photograph and then rained for the rest of the day. We had 8 people participate, 3 of which were children with their own cameras. It's great to see kids having fun with photography.

Here are some of my shots:

You can view all the photos from our photowalking on our Flikr site.

Finishing Hope Springs Eternal

After finishing up a double wedding portrait (that I can't show) I can get back to finishing the painting "Hope Springs Eternal".



Yes, it doesn't look much different than the last step, even less detail because I corrected some values and added more blue to the oil paint layer. It should go fast now, adding finishing details.

And I worked on the large painting for The Owl Foundation.


Keep watching, and watch Hope on the North American Bear Center website.

Join in the fun and photograph the sites in your own city.
