At the top right of this page is a new painting by deb. That’s me - Straw Boy, in a Straw Hat, picking Strawberries. Seemed like a good fit.
“Brett” is just one of several new images I recently added to the fivewomen gallery. Every month or two, after enough artwork has accumulated, I set aside a day for a shoot. On an afternoon when the light is suitable, I take lots of photos using a variety of lens openings. Later, I select the best shot of each piece and put it in a folder corresponding to the artist.
The rest of the process is mostly automatic - each image is resized for thumbnail and large web versions, watermark added, piece added to the database, and images uploaded to the web server. Then one of us edits the details of each piece such as the title, medium, dimensions, and so on.
