WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN!
I am just here to enjoy the visual smorgasbord of FLICKR! And meet new ART & NATURE LOVERS of course ;0)
All my photo images & artworks (& poetry) are copyright protected with all rights reserved. Please don't use or reproduce without my written permission.
Here is an oil painting of vintage Shawnee Salt Shakers..... on easel in progress.
The completed work can be viewed in my Oil Paintings Set.
I paint from real life & from photographs.... whichever the subject dictates (bees just won't stay still)..... ha. Sorry..... but I only paint from my own photos but thanks for asking. Not accepting commissions... no time!
When painting from photos: I crop to paint..... so when viewed on my computer screen, I already have the photograph close to how it will appear in my painting..... and I like to see all the details - realism rules!..... ;0)
..... and by the way - I LOVE NATURE!
p.s..... and oh yeah - I LOVE ART too!
REMEMBER..... ALWAYS EXIT WITH A BRIGHT SMILE!

"First off - I can't believe someone hasn't written something on Carolyn's behalf yet! What a wonderful artist/photographer she is! I thoroughly enjoy discovering what images she will post next and am never disappointed! Carolyn has such an artists eye and sensitivity toward her subjects. She also has a wonderful sense of humor and playfulness in the way that she sees and photographs nature. She sees the beauty in the smallest of creatures or details of nature, whether it be an insect or a leaf, a snake or a flower, or one of her many precious pets. Carolyn is a warm-hearted, kind friend to have here on Flickr, she is always generous enough to leave a kind comment my photostream - thanks Carolyn! And be to sure to check out her links to her other sites on the internet - she is an outstanding painter."
