Joan, Hi. I have this commission going and today put three new figurative entries into a local art show. I have to get a painting of Central Park ready for a gallery by May 3rd. I am lucky I finally understand my new Sony cybershot p50 (don't buy it) enough to get good shots out of it. It takes awful shots of paintings but fabulous pics of family.
On my "must figure out" list is the George Foreman grill my sis-in-law gave us for Christmas, The ultra zap light, and three other things that require reading the instructions. Our world is filled with new technology and I am running to catch up! I'll let you know asap.
The first and simplest lamps I bought before I purchased a Bogen stand (love it!!) were the Smith-Vector lights from B & H photo, NYC. They are simple 13 foot light stands and with a 200 watt photobulb are simple to use, approx. $120. for the set.
Now the spring is here and I am out in the park again, painting plein air. I am all over the place when it comes to art and I still haven't decided what kind of an artist I'll be when I grow up!!
