Painting Outside the Lines
Ramblings of an accidental, modern-day learn as I go, fell out of living one way; into role of stay at home mom of two!

I love up close photography; capturing the closeness and detail of a subject. On this day, I could not resist taking a few 300 shots of all kinds of cuteness… nah, not exactly 300.
This is one of my favorites taken with my Panasonic Lumix:

Edits: I recently started using Serif PhotoPlus starter Edition, after Google shut down their image editing program Picnik. I am fairly inexperience with editing, but I’m learning and I prefer not to manipulate the image so, Serif PhotoPlus works well for me and it’s easy to use.

I uploaded both images to the blog post, framed, and before publishing Digiproved using a WordPress plugin. Yes, I do both, I copyright and Digiprove, but of course if it is something that I don’t want to chance… I DO NOT put it on the internet.

Thanks for sharing your tips! I’ve been meaning to learn how to watermark my photos. Now I have no excuses! BTW, your photos are great!
mommetime May 6 2012 - 10:34 pm
Thank you… my kids love to paint and the weather has cooperated a lot lately. Having a watermark program helps… I created the mark, saved it and now when I need to watermark ~boom it is super simple!

it depends on the day, I suppose… lol She takes it outside, brings it back in, puts tiny pet shop (toy) animal inside and then shakes it out. she puts it on her dresser. she takes it down. REPEAT! One year she gave me a bird house for Mothers Day… two days later she said, “Mom, if you are not going to play with that will you let me play with it?”
Jessica Mokrzycki May 5 2012 - 5:36 pm
Loved the pic! I love when kids can get down and dirty and be creative like that!
mommetime May 6 2012 - 10:40 pm
Thanks… me too! I love when we have large card board boxes, I open ‘em up, break out the paint, take them outside and let them have at it!

The pics brings back memories of when I used to have the best time painting as a kid and it looks like much fun took place on the birdhouse. Any birds took up residence yet? Great advice for those involved in photograghy!!
mommetime May 6 2012 - 10:44 pm
both my girls love to paint…
As far as birds taking up residency… well, that depends on what you mean by bird… if you mean of the toy variety, YES… she has these tiny little toy birds that she puts in there and then shakes out.
~it is too cute!

Thank you… when my oldest first started showing interest in Art I tried to make it clean and structured ~bahahaha… nothing liking taking the ‘fun’ out of it! Now I just put down proper cloth and let them have at it! They love it and have so much fun, sometimes I join in on the fun!
