Jennifer -

Alas, no photos yet. I'm old, I can barely use a digital camera, I can paint(& build a website) only in my free time from my full-time day job - and believe me I wish it was the reverse! So, that's my list of excuses for not having a website!

Re: the Bertrand photos and satellite imagery being discussed. I never could afford the Bertrand book! And, I have seen quite a lot of the collection on GE - beautiful! My only problem with using others' images for painting is that they're other people's ideas of what was important or interesting to look at. The beauty of GE is that each of us can fly wherever we want, can zoom in or out - in other words, can customize our subject matter. And, it's very valuable to have access to the bigger picture of the entire globe, finding relationships among places. For me, no matter what the inspiration, finding patterns is crucial, whether that's color, form, types of environmental damage, politics...
