This was basically a study for rock work with panels. I got the basics of it from Halhi's Tutorial, which has a ton of good info.
I tried 3 other ways of doing the water, which was painful, but I am pleased that I kept pushing on.
Amazing model and actress

It's been a fair few years since this "cyclotouriste" has owned or regularly ridden skinny tired, fenderless "race" bikes but, the Urago gives a fast, responsive yet comfortable ride. It has been the go-to machine for day rides for much of the summer...
Been off and on as of late. Been busy studying and what not. Writting, math, language, history and all that. It's fun but a little loney. Good thing I have people to leave nice comments on my pics. Thanks y'all.
This year I'll be taking the Japanese Languange Proficiency Test (JLPT or Noken) for level 2 (or 2-kyû, which is the second most advanced level), so I've been studying since January.
The exam is in December, though XD
Well, it's not that I have been studying really hard 'cause I still have a lot of time, so it's been a really relaxed but constant study so far. That doesn't mean I will stop studying during summer holidays, though!
In this pic you can see my "friends" when preparing the exam.
I wish Momohime could speak and teach me Japanese, haha
The study continues with the neutral color tone that we love. The pillow cover on the butterfly chair was selected specifically for this purpose. The art on the wall and behind the chair are again original art by Gavin Benjamin. The baskets on the floor are peasant baskets from Vienam. The desk is from IKEA, the lamp from Target.
eMo is used to study human-machine interaction. He was developed by Professor Noel Sharkey's robotics group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield.

An investigative study into the ways in which certain minorities express themselves, in this case, it’s Drag Queens. Drag is an art and refined skill, but most importantly, drag is a way for one to express themselves through the beauty of a performative identity. Having spoken to over 100 queens over Instagram, I have discovered so much about the culture; such as the fact that there are categories of queens such as comedy queens, spooky queens, club kids, pageant and the most dominant being look queens. It’s fair to say that drag is not something you’d class as ‘normal’, but that certainly doesn’t devalue the significance it truly holds. Breaking gender stereotypes is such a vital way for society to progress. Offensive ideologies such as sexism, homophobia and even transphobia seem to be alleviated as soon as one gets into drag. A man dressed as a women, (usually) part of the LGBT community and clothed in a plethora of elegant attires is so strongly standing for those who are socially repressed in nowadays society for the way in which they identify. Talking to Dixey the queen, she opened my eyes to the idea that “drag is there for those who need that boost of inspiration, that kick of confidence or stance of pride. I live unapologetically and standing on that stage with my double Ds and 30 inch wig makes me feel powerful. but i don’t do it for my own ego, I do it for those who need need the encouragement to be who they want. Yeh, I look like a fool up there, but when my head is high and the crowds are cheering, someone in the world is feeling like they can conquer anything and that is why I get up every morning”. (Ran out of word count - will post my essay soon)
Quick value study sketch. I think this may become one of my next watercolors. This was a bright, sunny day and the shapes of these barns creates a scene that caught my eye immediately.
Hopefully coming soon . . .
I've never picked up my camera during Bible Study, but tonight I did. Twice. I admit it, a true double standard exists in our house. Bogart gets plenty of loving at the start of the evening then again at the end each week, but he must spend the time we are truly studying on his mat. He knows this and does so without instruction. However, the felines are free to claim any place they desire. Gumbo spent time on my lap, Raven and Vidalia curled up on the back of the sofa, and Curio took advantage of multiple places. He started by wedging himself between a couple (see the photos in the comments). Curio stayed there, being stroked for a full forty five minutes, before transitioning to the above location. Visitors are always welcome in our household. My felines make sure they know it. Now if only Magnus didn't need to be shut in a kennel in our bedroom. . .

Really only looking for two things with this one: first, what fun could I have with camera movements (camera angled down, rear standard returned to vertical to keep trees from converging, but front standard with exaggerated forward tilt, to throw the top 2/3 of the frame out of focus; and front swing, to shift plane of focus roughly along the front of the open shed; the result is some weird geometry on the shed roof, exaggerating the apparent convergence of the roof edges). And second, how much detail from the shed interior could I retain. Altogether, I'm pleased with the result.

I hope that everyone realizes that the middle photo has been squashed and my thighs aren't really that fat nor my feet that long! The two end photo are unaltered. And yes, my calfs really are that big. That's from years of racewalking.
This girl was writing a paper in the bio garden. I didn't want to be much of a disturbance, which is why I have some shadows where I don't want them. If Only I'd had a second flash, or something... :) not all problems can be solved with more gear, but this might be one of them...
