There was no online for Dad!!
He did commercial art for a magazine, and he kept his personal work at home.
I recall that he gave just one exhibition.
My, how things have changed.

Opportunistically, my photos are almost entirely of nature.
Flowers and birds favor photo-realism, though clouds at sunrise and sunset get pretty impressionistic at times.

Speaking of birds, this one turned into a bit of a character portrait, with the very low light. Not sure where the fuzziness came from. I suspect that the bird was molting. Looks like a painting.


Enjoy!
