Contest Finalists – Swirls & Twirls

Sunday, January 15th, 2012

Sweet!  It’s nice to check my inbox and see an uplifting message amidst all of my junk mail.  This morning I learned that two of my images tied for third place in a competition at Fine Art America.  How cool!  Without further ado, here they are:

The theme of the competition was “Swirls and Twirls.” My favorite piece by a different artist in the competition is this one:

Here is what the contest administrator had to say: “Congrats to you all! Beautiful images! We had 16 pages of entries…AMAZING! Everythig, and I am so serious, everything…was so neat and beautiful and different. What a talanted group of artists! Thank you all so much of taking part in it!”

This is a good way to start the day… :)

Wee Rossnowlagh Beach

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

A luxury vacation planet, Wee Rossnowlagh Beach offers private sandy beaches perfect for getting away from it all. Go on, relax with the family on the seaside and then write that novel you’ve always planned. There’s no time like today and there’s no place quite like this anywhere else in the known galaxy.

Based on a photo of Rossnowlagh in County Donegal, Ireland

A huge thank-you to photographer Matt Mason for providing the source panorama of Rossnowlagh in County Donegal, Ireland. I was so excited when Matt answered my Open Call for Panoramas!  He shared several interesting photos that may end up as newly discovered planets soon, so stay tuned!

Wee Rossnowlagh Beach Planet is available as a framed Fine Art print on archival paper or canvas in my shop.
