Although I prefer the heat to cold, we seem to be having extremes of both lately. Not fun. As for creating art on the computer, it's not as satisfying to me as actual painting, but because of circumstances it is easier for me now.Thanks for commenting :o)Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19180636.post-8360112219015810022011-05-12T05:46:30.279-07:002011-05-12T05:46:30.279-07:00The color and imagery in this piece is so mysterio...The color and imagery in this piece is so mysterious Eva. You have a wonderful way of putting things together. I love my computer but find I have enough to do without using it to create art however I'm so impressed with what you do that I may one day be tempted to try. <br /><br />I hear it's been hot in Atlanta. I wish it would heat up here in Toronto!Susannehttp://www.susanneclark.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19180636.post-50929407421112727902011-05-11T06:17:27.609-07:002011-05-11T06:17:27.609-07:00Thank you Michelle.

While I'm sitting here it is easier to do something in Photoshop than it is to go down to my studio and pull out a bunch of materials. I'm taking another another journal workshop and also a altered book workshop later this month so I will be back to the studio for them.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19180636.post-76251576045654000832011-05-09T17:31:49.040-07:002011-05-09T17:31:49.040-07:00I am late to catch up on blog posts from the past ...I am late to catch up on blog posts from the past week but I wanted to say I am totally impressed with your motivation to use software and end up with such wonderful compositions.

There was a guy on the Serif forum that lost a $500 on a bad printing project because the images exported in his PDF (unknown to him) were in a lower resolution than he used.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19180636.post-31797956972477088222011-05-06T08:34:55.492-07:002011-05-06T08:34:55.492-07:00Regarding your desktop publishing woes, I am a for...Regarding your desktop publishing woes, I am a former PageMaker user, tried to go to InDesign (aaarrgghh!!) and am now using an older version (2003) of Microsoft Office Publisher, which I then convert into PDF files. The current version (2010) of Publisher may be even better than what I'm using. Anyway, it's relatively intuitive and gets the job done quickly. I understand your frustration regarding things changing all the time, having to re-learn what HAD been working great, etc. And (insult to injury) having to PAY for it all over again. Wishing you calm, peace, and smooth creative sailing. --Carol LeighCarol Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795175430154077595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19180636.post-37318841056150325202011-05-06T07:11:37.266-07:002011-05-06T07:11:37.266-07:00Hi Jessica, welcome to my blog.
