A Bit of Natural History

~Winter Red Deer ~  Original Art by Jill McCall©2013
~Winter Red Deer~
~I have been Playing Again~
It has been a Long time since
 I have been able to Sit Down at my Computer 
to do some Digital Art. 
My Creative Muse
has been Whispering in my Ear,
"Go Play~"
~Winter Reindeer~  Original Art by Jill McCall©2013
~Winter Reindeer~
I Love the 
Natural History Specimen Sample Look.
These are the Results of my Play~

Brrrrrr !! It is so Cold here in Oregon 
and it seems we are not alone!
When I woke up this Morning it was -8 Degrees.
Living here in the Willamette Valley, this a Rare Event!
Snow and Sub zero temps.
I know.... some of you are saying,
 "Psh! That's Nothing!"
And You would be Right!!!
Hope you are all Staying Warm!

~ Incandescent~

~ Incandescent~ Jill McCall~
For So Long I felt like Photoshop was
 too Daunting a Task to Undertake.
So with a Little Bit of Play
 and a Thimble Full of Knowledge
as my Good Friend Gale said to me,
I have been learning Quite a Bit.
(Also Remembering that the"Undo" Button is Close at Hand.)
~ Incandescent~ Jill McCall` FBCover~
I would Love to Share with You
what I have Learned so Far.
(By the Way I still Consider Myself a Humble Student~)
I have started putting together a Tutorial
that Hopefully will Help You Feel Less Intimidated.
Some Basic Skills and Answers to Simple Questions.
The same Questions I Had When First Started.
but was Afraid to Ask
It is in the Works Right Now
and upon Completion
can be Found
 Here on my Blog
as Well as on
Paper Whimsy Inspire.

~Hope Your Having Wonderful Weekend~

and a Bird! 
Love them All Like my Friend
