Perfect! I'm so glad you post the detail shots too, I like to see the whole thing but on the computer screen its so hard to get the details.

Moggy,

i'm thinking about trying to make a website and I was wondering about how to handle the detail shots. I suppose I should look at a bunch of artists' sites to see if anyone has an elegant way to do it. In my mind it would be easy to go from the full view to the detail and back again.

Oh, I wonder if there is a way you can set it up to be able to zoom in. I was on a site recently that let me zoom in on the photos and move my mouse around to zoom in on different spots. I think it was on JCPenney...lol, I was looking at athletic shoes. Let me go see --if it is I'll bring you the link. That would be a very cool way to be able to view your artwork! Kinda like stepping up close to examine it like I usually do when I see paintings in real life.

I'll be right back.

Okay, this is kinda funny...looking at shoes, but it gets the point across. Go to this link and then click on where it says "see it larger" when the larger pic comes up you can put your cursor on it, left click on the photo several time to make it bigger and bigger and then click and hold the left clicker and slide it around to zoom in on different areas.

That would work perfectly for a painting I think!

This is beautiful!

Thanks Jennifer!

Moggy, what an awesome idea! Thank you! I will check out the zoom at JCP. That would be the perfect solution.

Hey Kate!

I'm glad you like the image. And I'm glad the coffee is on! I'm on my way to take my daughter to school... talk to later. Have a great day.

The jays are often a squawky bunch, eh? And they can be marauders as well. Many times I have watched them steal eggs from finch nests.
Doug M. Jun 5, 2008, 2:25pm EDT
Cute story, Kate. He probably pooped on the sheets when you weren't looking.

You have articulated a quality which bluejays demonstrate. "Distant Friend". Not a perfect friend, and sometimes grumpy, but always around.

It is the perfect way to describe why I chose jays for this picture. Like many birds and animals of all kinds, including humans, bluejays are excellent sentries. When something is different in their environment, they notice.

They band together, not exactly a flock, imo, but a loose-knit posse.

I can't wait to see what you've been working on all winter. I'm sure you have to have been working on some wonderful masterpiece that you've been hiding from us.

W o W! I love the placement on this artwork Doug.
