my last autumn roses still life pictures I took just before that October 2011 Northeast storm are gaining of popularity, here the picture looks as a lovely sentimental handmade 4x6 folded greeting card
and the same picture in the large 26"x34" mated and framed print. I think no needs to mention that all card design and printing-matting-framing work are done by me in my framing shop.

Here I'm again, so, briefly about the main news:
I became a member of Connecticut Women Artists, Inc., which has been Supporting and Promoting Women in the Arts Since 1929.
Each year CWA invites women artists from Connecticut to submit samples of their work for consideration for membership. So, this year I’d submitted my art work and have been accepted! The Portfolio Review Committee of the CWA has reviewed my art portfolio and has qualified me as an Elected Member.
I’ll post an additional information when my name appears on their web site on the list of their members, and about the CWA 2012 shows and events, which I’m going to attend with my art.
Also, the Minsk Publishing House Zhizn in Belarus and I continue working together in 2011 and 2012.
This year 35 images of mine have been chosen for their magazine Nadegda (Hope) for You, notebooks, and calendars 2012. I’d received calendar samples by mail from my Belarusian colleagues, took photos of some of the calendars to show them on my site.
Being really very busy, I still make new pictures and continuously post them on the site. Please check my Still Life, Landscapes and other galleries for the new photos. Usually, I post one of the newest as a thumbnail picture of the each album to let you know that there are new photos in my albums.
I open new site gallery In My Workshop, as well. I have posted many photos of my work station, framing shop, about how I work and what I do being very busy.

I used my gladiolus photo making this collage with Little Pink Sugar Princess.
The plant was as a second "main character" following the girl.
It seemed to me that the gladiolus wearing the wide ruffled summer hat looked exactly the same opened face and mind, and as much innosent and naive as a little girl.
Flowers like kids believe that spring and summer never end...and the best beautiful times are still and always right over there…
Last picture with rhododendron bushes is about my front porch in Spring 2011.
I hope, my dear visitor and reader remembers, that I love to grow flowers and other plants in my garden to enjoy them both: watching and photographing them.
Also I just like to make my life better and more beautiful around; hence,one more way to save the world

and ONE picture more of news, Chanticleer Garden, PA for the main background and my .....yes, still life composition with some of my favorite little figurs. Here it is the photography, painting and drawing at the same time, my ART PHOTOGRAPHY, so, my Early Visitors! yet, they may be late visitors as the Easter 2011 has already passed...
  
Sometimes critics call me as a photo manipulator. Of course I do and photo manipulations also, but I'm 200% Photographer at the very first. Using all my knowledge, skills, experience and very good photography equipment, I take high end quality photographs. I photograph myself all of the objects and subjects I may use in ahead as pure photos, or creative pictures. I'm just able to make something else from my photos.Something that I call Art Photography.
