Garth,

What you see is the result of a flat bed scanner, however, the actual prints are quite good. I take my negatives to a professional lab for processing and have them prepare the prints that I paint from. I almost exclusively paint from an 8x10 matte print, it's all I've ever done.

These images were scanned from a typical 4x6 print. I don't fuss to much with what you see here because I don't reference any computer images when I paint. I go to a little more trouble to create good computer images of my paintings.

Thanks for the compliment on the image, she was a very pleasant subject to work with.

I'm looking forward to the digital age.
