These galleries represent my photographic and painterly favorites. My work is a combination of straight photographic representation as well as digital manipulation. I enjoy "altering reality" by painting over some of my photography to create digital "masterpieces". Every photo or painting you see in these galleries is an effort to create not only an artistically fine work, but also to invoke that all important emotion that separates fine photographic art from the ordinary.

Nothing can say what's in my heart about my Mom, who is no longer with us . . . . .

The anniversary of her passing was this summer (2 yrs ago) - June 24th, so I thought I'd share a few photos of her life....

Most of these photos are snapshots, and not many are taken by me, but they are very precious, nonetheless...

© Ann  Raine PhotoID# 5760749: Enchanted PAINTED PHOTOGRAPHY        slide show (24)

I bought a Wacom tablet and Corel Painter several years ago. I didn't really know how to use Painter, so the tablet and the software languished for almost a year.

Then I took my first course on Betterphoto.com - Using Corel Painter - and I became an aficiando of painting photographs.

I hope you enjoy my works as much I've enjoyed painting them.

I just recently visited Tucson Az and was lucky enough to visit while some of the desert cacti are in bloom. They are beautiful, but be careful of the stickers that surround them!

Here's the catch-all category for my digital creations: some part PS, some part Painter, some part filters and plugins. This is what makes the digital age so much fun. The possibilities are limitless! I welcome your feedback.

I love B&W photographs, there is a timelessness to them, a sexy, yet regal quality that is unique to a photo devoid of color.

Enjoy and feel free to share your thoughts, too.

One of my favorite pasttimes is to watch all the birds that come to the feeders that I've put up on my backyard deck.

And, I have such a great time photographing them. I know they are not the tropical rain forest exotics, but they are so beautiful none-the-less.

Nuthatches, chickadees, cardinals, jays, juncos, house finches, goldfinches, sparrows, tufted titmice, downy woodpeckers, red-bellied woodpeckers, red-winged blackbirds, starlings, carolina wrens . . . . . and the list keeps growing.
