Movie Making and Egg Shells!



Well I am getting adventurous! I am taking Leslie Saeta's WebinARTS course, which I was lucky enough to win in her Christmas Giveaway Contests. It is a great course and one of our assignments was to try making a movie using our artwork.

I decided to create a movie of progress photos I had of a miniature painting of egg shells. Their are several programs to create these movies in, but I found Windows Movie Maker to be quite straightforward and pretty easy to use. I made the cover page as a button, saved it and used it as my intro and ending page with my shop link on it. Hope you enjoy watching it!





On another note I started adding more work to Imagekind a printing company where you can order prints of my paintings. Collecting prints is another economical way to enhance your space and let your mind wander as you reflect on the memories or feelings fine art evokes. Imagekind have several different formats in which you can buy your prints: framed, on canvas etc.

The following two paintings have been added recently to Imagekind.



You can purchase prints of "Rolling Along" here.




You can purchase prints of "Petal by Petal" here.

Thanks for looking! I'm heading to my studio to work on a larger still life I hope to finish this weekend. Trying to stay warm in these frigid temperatures in Nova Scotia this past week! Wishing you a great weekend!

Warmly,
Debbie

    1. Thanks so much Cheryl! The header photo was taken in Arisaig Provincial Park, Nova Scotia. It was an awesome spot to paint up on a cliff!
