karen ussery fine art photography: growing
http://karenussery.blogspot.com/2013/05/growing.html
Thursday, May 30, 2013. Today, I drew. Haven't done that since grade school. But I joined an online basic art class to improve my artsitic vision, and they encouraged us to try out some of the techniques demonstrated. So why not? Charcoal most appealed to me, especially when water was added, so that's what I did. For inspiration I used a photo I'd made earlier. I'm not ready to quit my day job. I'm clear I have a LOT to learn. But I'm loving the journey. Follow my Blog by Email. Want even more email?

karen ussery fine art photography: November 2010
http://karenussery.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Karen ussery fine art photography. I honestly wonder (and seriously doubt) if there has ever been another time in human history when it was so accessible, so possible to re-invent oneself or one's business/expression. What an amazing, crazy time we live in. I'm so grateful I have created the kind of life in which I get to do that. Is open for bidness! Is at the printers and ready for pre-orders for just $19.95 each. (All have additional shipping.). Links to this post. View my...

Thursday, February 24, 2011. Winter time and the living's easy. Water has the ability to transform the ordinary into something magical. Snow, ice, or in this case, fog, draped the trees in a little bit of mystery, reducing their color and details and emphasizing their forms. I pass by these tree trunks every week or two when I walk down to the water's edge. Also the little creek I posted on the page with the my new images. On my site. There are also several other foggy morning images. Links to this post.

karen ussery fine art photography: April 2013
http://karenussery.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 23, 2013. What's better than an image of a lovely thing? Seeing that lovely thing twice, of course. I've been shooting on patterned glass and the more I'm experimenting, the more I'm appreciating the reflection, sometimes even more than the subject itself. Using glass in the studio gives me more control of the reflection, but there's still a magic to it that isn't manageable. And I think that's what makes it great. Links to this post. Friday, April 12, 2013. Links to this post. Continuing ...

karen ussery fine art photography: December 2010
http://karenussery.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. A passel, a slew, a plethora of new images! What a difference a few weeks can make. Because I am now working with Grand Image, and they have happily claimed a whole bunch of my images (which I have happily granted), my site was looking a little puny. But just because I want to create doesn't always mean I do. Or more accurately, that things turn out the way I envision. A couple weeks ago I just granted myself some space to go play. (Always easier said than done, right? I'm sta...

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. After a two-year absence. The more I've posted and shared on Facebook, the less I'd been blogging. But my coach kicked me in the butt about it, and she's right. Facebook provides a better interactivity, but blogging allows for a greater depth of sharing. So I'm happy to be back and share what's been going on. (Hint: a lot! This is piece I created during my 31 Day Challenge in January. Some folks do 365. For me, one a day for the first month of the new year was enough...All i...

Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Looking back over my last few posts, I see a theme was growing and gaining momentum. It's time for a change. I'm still not quite sure what that change is, but I trust I will discover it in good time. It may even be a re-ignighting of the passion for nature closeups that I've been making for so long. But I suspect it'll be a new direction in my art. Ta ta for now! Follow my Blog by Email. Photographic prints and canvases expressing the beauty and elegance of nature's details.
