WDE 24 September 2010 Photo Here

[RubyRedDog2]

Hello Everyone!!! Thank you for joining me.

I will be posting 16 images and a challenge .

Please wait until all are uploaded before commenting - thank you.

You have 30 minutes to make your choice and choose your materials - you may use any medium.

For the next two hours, just go for it……then STOP!, scan or photograph your work and post it in your own new thread with your title, beginning with WDE, plus date, plus title.

When you introduce your work, please add a description of size, medium, support (paper, canvas etc) and time taken.
If your work is digital, we'd appreciate a description of whether it's freehand drawing/painting, manipulated image or done using the filters available in some programmes - you could also say which programme you've used.
All are acceptable but we'd like to know the "hows, whys and wherefores"!!

Use WIP for any work in progress at the 2 hour mark, and MI for multiple images if other works are to be added before the following Monday.

NB. To avoid forum flooding, please put all of your work during the weekend, for the current WDE, into a single thread: multiple threads will be merged!
From the following TUESDAY, you may open a new thread for later work.

You have the whole week to participate - until the next WDE starts (usually Friday). If you finish a piece after that time, we now run a 'Catch-up' thread in the forum each month where you can post any WDE not completed in its allotted week .... it's a sticky near the top of the forum page.

After posting your contribution, please view others’ entries and comment and encourage when you can. Unless requested, please refrain from critiquing.

If you are a newbie or interested in hosting - info is here.

I'll start with some photos in the spirit of fall - borrowed from the RIL - high res link will be right below the photo.

And to skip a season a beautiful winter scene from WC member surob in RIL.

The rest of the photos are mine - high res photos are on Flicker here. If you don't want to join Flicker pm me with your regular email address and I will send photo. FYI photos can not be sent in WC pms.



Some roadside mules I had to stop to talk to in Georgia - USA.




If you have little girls or granddaughters you may like to paint a castle for them - since princesses are in these days.





And a famous Woodstock turkey is back - if you are a newbie, Thelma was made famous by our very own WDE Beth. Thelma had many many adventure with Bert a character by our EP. Welcome back Thelma.





This isn't a great photo but has interesting object that can't be edited or cropped with your brushed.



Now just some random photos.






My little Mother's figs.




Ahhhhhh, Paris...Sigh!



Puffins are my favorite birds - these live at SeaWorld, FL.



16th photo added in following reply.
FYI -
So, for the challenges.
1. Combine some of the photos above or rearrange the objects in the photos.
2. Try some mixed media.

Hope you all have fun. I'll be working tomorrow and can't be online much so will answer any question tomorrow night, if not before.

I believe Bert was Beth's creation... but we both had a ton of fun creating adventures for them

Nice selection, Gail! I can't wait to get started. It will probably be tomorrow, since Friday is still a work day for me.
