First post on a new start!

Hey all, So I've blogged before but not on my own. My very good friend Christie & I started blogging & because we are both a little too a.d.d. for our own good when it comes to art, design, projects, & lets just say it-LIFE!-our blog updates didn't last long. So I started my own blog, under my business name 'Chickadee Studios' as a place for me to upload new project images, talk about art, photos, design, gardening, & really anything that tickles my fancy. So here goes :)

Anyone who really knows me knows full well that I'm always working on creating something. Whether it's journaling, photographing, painting, sketching, gardening, working on my house, or day dreaming, I'm always always figuring out how to fulfill my own creative drive.

My newest project is figuring out how to photograph artwork. I'd love to get involved working with students & artists photographing their work so they could sell reproductions, create a portfolio, submit work to galleries or shows, and overall just promote themselves. I definitly have the camera & the set up under control, & I'm fine tuning everything to get as sharp of an image as possible. I know I have extremely high expectations for any reproductions of my own artwork, & I know other artists do too, so I'm working hard on figuring the process out. Here's my first attempt-not too bad! (image named Untitled Blue #1) Now that I've seen the image & done some more testing in Photoshop, I'm going to try out a few more techniques to see if I can get it any sharper. In the mean time keep checking in-I'd like to get something posted at least every other day & believe you me I've got A LOT going on in my head I'd like to share. :)
