Romantic Paintings Stuart Kirby April Art Giveaway

"A Moment In Love" by Stuart Kirby All Rights Reserved © 2012

So April has arrived...Easter's been and gone and this week has been full of sun...bliss...

My apologies for not posting a new art giveaway on the first of the month but I have been consumed these last few days in selecting a new monitor mainly for my photographic work as I have seemingly got back into it professionally again...how did that happen!...

I blame a certain Jasmine Star...

I also acquired a graphics tablet for my Photoshop work and it's immediately apparent I'm definitely needing a lot of hours of practice with it.

Anyway back to the giveaway...

This month's art giveaway is a print of an oil painting(still available) out of my imagination entitled " A Moment In Love "...

As usual all you have to do to enter the giveaway is leave your name below to be entered in a draw...

Then on 1st of April the winning name will be left here on my blog...

After an exchange of email address and shipping information the print will be sent to the giveaway winner...

Romantic Paintings..Stuart Kirby...Mull Of Galloway Again....

Mull Of Galloway Scotland ...Stuart Kirby Arts

So the brushes have been on hold recently and its the digital SLR camera that has been in my grasp...

I was recently asked to photographically cover certain events at a wedding at the beginning of the month...

All went well and it was good to have a change of mindset and media in creating, capturing and processing images of the special day...

It took me back to the 90's to the days of me using film to create images...click to see more..

I remember being in the press pit taking editorial images of tennis stars like Anna Kournikova (remember her) and sending my film for 1 hour processing whilst staffers for national papers were armed with early versions of digital cameras and laptops and able to wire through their pics to their picture desk and editors directly...I just couldn't compete back then...different now though with all this technology...especially viewing the image immediately after capture...

Across The Solway Firth To England....Stuart Kirby Arts

Anyway yesterday me and Evlar ventured down to the Mull Of Galloway for a run out...

It was nice to see my homeland across the Solway Firth with the snow topped mountains of the Lake District in the distance...

I love this most southerly point of Scotland and its views especially on a clear day albeit a bit hutchy and windy like yesterday...

Across The Irish Sea to Ireland....Stuart Kirby Arts

Last time we were here I only had my phone camera but this time luckily I had brought my DSLR along and captured a few pics...

Swinging round through 90 degrees on this peninsula Ireland comes into view which is the birthplace of some of my ancestors...

A nice run out all in all...Thanks for dropping by...

Oh just a reminder...Don't forget my totally absolutely FREE month of March art giveaway... you can enter here...
