Hey, youre back. You asked about the picture of the trees in ice, Its under the freeway, right outside the 'Graffiti Graveyard'. If I had been facing in the other direction, It would have been looking into the opening of the Graveyard.

Hi Sue,  How have you been,  snow finally melting your way?  It's been a slow start to spring creative wise for me.....but that's ok, it's given me opportunity to just enjoy the blossoms and the birds,  and the sweet smell in the air....

TAke care, kara 

Hi, Thanks for commenting on my eggshell paintings. Yup ... I can't seem to say enough about the subject :)  Your work is inspiring! - Kathy

Strange that you made the comment about native americans and the sky, the photo you refered to was taken at Lake Hefener in Oklahoma.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks again for all the advice on prints (I'm trying to clean up my message box )
Just wondering if you'd mind sharing the cost of the scan/photography
to put your piece onto a digital format BEFORE they then use that image
to print the giclees. One place I contacted had a $125 scan fee- the
other had $70 fee. (+ $50 for each additional piece you had
photographed on that same day) The cost of the giclees was very
reasonable after that, and once that was done (includes color
correcting) you can print as few or as many pieces as you want. You
get a CD with that image which is also stored digitally with them, and
then a simple phone call gets you more prints. I asked about scanning
them myself, but he said they use a photographer, because a scanner can
give good DPI, but if often off on the color. It's true, the things I
have scanned to put on this site are sometimes not color true.
Photography is a much better match. Just wondering how it's done with
you- since your watercolors are often light or pale and I wondered what
process you used to duplicate that. By the way, your little mini
flower piece is Very, very nice.

Hi selliot, I may have already responded to this I dont know...but here it is again...

I pay $12.00 per professional photo, 3 or more are $10.00 each....and get it on a free CD.

My
prints vary based on image size, 8x11 paper is $12.00 each with
discount at higher qty. A watercolor artist makes my giclee prints, he
is a F/T professional artist....the quality is out of this world.

The
images I post on the net and here I take myself with a Nikon 6
megapixel digital camera, the color is only slightly off and can be
tweaked with any good photo editing software.

It
just seems to me youa re being GREATLY overcharged on the scan
process....a good quality digital photo will work just fine....in my
opinion.

You need to find an artist who is making their own prints and see what they can do for you.

Dont hesitate to contact me for more questions/clarification.
