So I have decided to start an on going little project entitled 'She still wears his shirt'
I have done a couple of pieces and liking the way it is going and truly grateful to the permission to use the lovely images.

So.. I need a little help.. I am looking for more images in a similar style to create some pastel work. If you come across any thing here on DA send over a link and maybe I will be allowed to use as reference if I like the image.
Or..
if you want to create some photos as reference that would be amazing and would possibly like to see your image as a piece of pastel art, I would rather work with my DA friends and continue this project.

Thanks in advance

Huge kick up the ass....      to get myself back in my studio and back doing some work.
Haven't done much work this year and really need to pull my finger out and get back to what  I love doing..

Will you share this on your journal?

Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? Did you know the one who takes care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and Help me. Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile and see how much pain they may be in. To all my friends who are going through some issues right now--Let's start an intention avalanche. We all need positive intentions right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly copy and paste this status to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I know some will! I did it for a friend and you can too. You have to copy & paste this one, no share button, because kindness is a effort given from the ♥ not the press of a button.

Hello all,

Yes apologies first for nothing new from me for quite a while ... things change and have an impact on your life.. This time though it is for the good. So my artwork is a little on the back burner at the moment.
I appreciate all that follow me and as always comment and fav my work.

But the main reason for this journal is to say if you want to keep an eye on what else I am up, instead of sitting with my beloved pastels.
I have recently opened a FaceBook account, this one mainly for my photos. Again similar to my art account, you can like me on it, but I can follow etc

I have a new camera that I have with me all the time, a FujiFilm X100. It is an amazing camera and so beats lugging my bulky big Canons around all the time.
So with my Ipad and some usefull app I am able to shoot, edit via SnapSeed and then upload, usually from the comfort of my bed. Yes I could upload to here or my other DeviantArt account which is for photos, but the simplicity with the X100 and Ipad works a treat.

So if you want to like, the address is www.facebook.com/BTBImages
facebook.com/BTBImages

of course my art FB account is www.facebook.com/BTBArtist
facebook.com/BTBArtist

but here is my main art account and anything you see here will appear on the FB one.

So, at least you know I am still alive & kicking and enjoying life ..

Hope everyone is well and smiling ...

Hopefully some new artwork soon .. :-

take care all
