And then it was time to post the new theme, which is forks. Thanksgiving took all my energy so I wasn't feeling particularly creative. I tried out a technique I read about for cellphones, taking lowlight pictures in Night Mode. The forks are 3 generations' worth - an oyster fork that was a wedding ...

Mocking bird, using a mixer brush to remove photographic detail and texture - trying to follow the feather flow. I don't care for my color work or the background it too much, but here it is. Mo...
