Thanks so much for the fabulous response to my thoughts on a Painterly Class. The more I think about it the more excited I get!!
I love to find creative ways to use my own photographs as well as stock material and I think this class will be just about PERFECT for combining the two.
The above image incorporates some stock from SenshiStock over at Deviant Art as well as my own photos of Caumsett Park, personal textures and a couple from Shadow House.
Hm'hmm humming to myself here as thoughts percolate inside my head :-)
(You rather have to be here :-))!
On another and less savoury note, my blog has been targeted by spammers of late. Typepad does not seem to be able to help very much and so for a while, I have instituted the dreaded IDIOT CODE for comments.
I am sorry about this but lewd, rude and porny kinds of stuff are not the links/comments I want on posts, whether they are old or new.
I appreciate your patience in the mean-time.
Wow, Marie.... this is absolutly my favorite! Would lkiek to have it as a big poster in my studio :)
I am just back from a short weekend trip to the Baltic Sea and made many photos with wonderful light in winter.

Marie, one of my favoritest things of all time in your class was learning to use my own images and bump them up and make them whatever I wanted them to be. I put one of my relatives in photoshop but I couldn't do a thing with them.
Please give a class in that, will you?
Also, I had plans to read my poorly neglected blogroll this monring and had to finish making a pajama bottom from 2011, and now I'm swamped at the office and am going to have to off several colleagues before lunch. So I decided, I am going to read Marie, if that's the only one I read!!

Wonderful blending of images above. If this is what I have to look forward to, I'm VERY excited :-)

I´ve installed the code recognition some time ago for the same reason, so I understand ... Your new class sounds wonderful, and I´m soure it´ll be a great one!

Looks like a great class and a wonderful treatment. I'm thinking of adding the code back too for the same reason. Have a wonderful weekend.

great imagery (I wouldn't have thought of combining those two). Spammers are the Vandals of the blogging world.

Idiot codes accepted, a necessary step I'm afraid for most of us blogging.
Can see you are on a roll in developing this new class, great stuff!
