NEW PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Oh, Vanity! All is vanity! I still get such a kick out of getting photographs, good ones done! Christopher Zalesky Studios does my photographs.I still reduce the pixels before I post them on the big enormous internet. But even after I reduce them like crazy they are so much richer than what I can do. Of course everyone has a different screen for viewing, too.

BEE STINGS - LOVE 'EM

 I did this bee painting in 2010 or so. It's 20" by 16".

 I love bees because they help me deal with arthritis in my hands, among other things like pollination and honey. This painting was part of a bee homage but so prosaic, despite it's size. Suddenly it occurred to me that I was avoiding the subject which is bee stings! So a new version, repainted, spruced up and called APITHERAPY!

BIRD MAGNETS

I have done tiny paintings before. Now I'm doing some on little magnets, suitable for refrigerators. These I am varnishing. I want to experiment with acrylic varnish. I have not varnished my paintings because I thought acrylic varnish cannot be removed for cleaning but it is such a hard surface. It might be preferable to the "soft" acrylic paint surface which can/does absorb dirt. These are about 2 inches by 3 inches.
