Calendar, Daffodils All Year Long

Daffodils All Year Long

This has been a very good year for me for

taking photographs.

I started in the Spring of 2013 with blossoms, and

as the months progressed, added Daffodils, Irises,

and Roses.

Above is my first Calendar for 2014, and if you like

Daffodils as much as I do, you will want this

Calendar on Your Wall.

I Love Irises

Here is another shot of Irises from my trip

last week to East Vancouver.

Beautiful sunny warm Vancouver day

White Iris

The month of May blesses us with many delights.

Yesterday on a visit to East Vancouver where I used to live

the Iris is popping out in abundance.

This was the best catch of the day.

Watch The Master Paint

Video streaming by Ustream

You are in luck, David Darrow is painting live today on a portrait commission.
Today he mentioned that he would not be talking very much as he wanted to concentrate
on painting so that he would not get too distracted.
And today he was very much "In The Zone"
It is fascinated to see his painting come together in a magical way.

How To Make A Stretched Watercolor Canvas

Here is a great video by Joyce Faulknor on making a Watercolor Canvas.
The process is to first wet the watercolor paper, then stretch it over stretcher bars.
The paper is cut, folded then stapled to the stretcher bars and left to dry.
This is a great idea to provide a different product to your customers.

March Blossoms In Vancouver

I took a trip into Vancouver today.

I noticed that two days ago there were blossoms

on some of the trees, so I had to shoot them.

March Daffodils

Today was a very lucky day. I was on my way to get some groceries, and came across a Daffodil patch in full bloom. What a glorious find on a beautiful Spring Day.

March Irises

I shot this a few days ago in my front yard shortly after a good rain. You can see the water drops on the petals. I am very happy with this, and hope you enjoy it too. Photo taken with a Nikon Coolpix. This is going to make a good watercolor painting.

Red White Yellow Iris

This shot was taken in Penticton, BC Canada with a Canon SD450.

I was amazed at how many people grow Irises in Penticton.

In 2006-2007 I was living in Penticton BC Canada, and in my travels I discovered several locations of people who love Irises and grow them.

The Iris is by far my favorite flower.
