Coming out of the Closet!

Wed Sep 9, 2009, 9:32 AM
Tutorials to share Knowlege with YOU!

I have been digging though the middle bed room, taking out the art work and photographing it. Now you have to realize there is only a little space to walk in, and the closet is piled high with comforters and pillows, blankets, etc. to accomadate all the people who come to visit and need pillows etc. Now all the art work is double stacked, triple stacked, and leaning against all the boxes that hold the prints of the Blue and Gold maccaws, Egret Prints, Puffin and Penguin Prints, and more finished and unfinished art work. Thus I keep falling into the closet. No worries remember it's stacked with blankets and pillows. However, as I pushed myself clear of the closet wall one more time, and came out of the closet I realized I am a closet painter. Just like Gay people who stay in the closet I've been hiding my private painting and drawing self away for years. I worked professionally...all my art went into public buildings annonomously, and my private work stayed private.
So this week I shout Hurray I am finally out of the closet...I'm officially an artist and I so decree it. Deviant Art has brought me and my art out of the closet and into the light of day. I feel very good about that. Thank you DA and thank you to all the people here who are my friends and constantly are delighted with my new artistic offerings. Your friendship and encouragement has made all this public disclosure possible. :)

thank you for the help... A tut would be a great help... My scanners kills my watercolors. I do use washes of lighter then darker colors as you suggested. I think the reason my work comes out so light is the fact that i use very thin washes, and lots of them. The scanners light just goes right through, removing some of the high lighted detail. Im looking at a new scanner or a way to darken the finished scan. Got any ideas???

I'm absolutely in love with your art! You're definitely going on my watch list :D

A brushstroke is like a single moment in time- beautiful, but not significant until it all comes together.

Well thank you very much! I enjoy coming out of the closet...I guess it was a little claustraphobic in there. I enjoyed your photos, keep taking them. I like the picture of the boys...what woman hasn't seen that view. Plus I like the woods, and the bridge and Peek a boo. I'm glad you like my work, and I will be doing more Lions, and Snow Leopards...I worked on a Lion last night. Thank you again...Annie

Thank you so much for adding me to your :+devwatch:, Anne. I really appreciate that. =)

OMG I love your work, and I only discover really great photographers by watching Redbeard31, Reixed, and SooperDeviant. That's how I found you. I wondered if you would allow me to draw and paint from your photos. I always credit everyone, link back to your site, and not you when I paint or draw from your work. I love your shots of all the babies, but I really would like to try drawing the Amur Leopard Growling. That's a great shot!! I hope to hear from you again soon. Keep up the good work!! Annie
:icontiffanyanddave:
Wow... :blush:

Thank you so much for the compliment, I really do appreciate that. I'm so glad that you enjoy my photos so much.

Yes, absolutely. I would be honoured if you were to draw or paint using any of my photos as references. I especially love Amur leopards, so I would love to see what you do with it. Best of luck with it, I look forward to seeing your interpretation and most of all, have lots of fun with it. =)
