Holiday Card Project Stamp by Heidi

Thanks for visiting my page! I'm not as active as an artist as I used to be. I need to kick my behind into gear again about it. But, I still do a lot of photographs, mostly of birds and landscapes. As you can see, waterfowl is one of my favorite subjects, especially ducklings. I consider myself a "duckling specialist". I also love horse art, so you will see a lot of those in my favorites.

My favorite bird is the killdeer, but I also love curlews, especially after reading "Last of the Curlews" by Fred Bodsworth. I love anything that has an Eskimo curlew on it, but the more realistic it is, the better. But, I also love impressionist work, too.

Besides photography, I work almost strictly in colored pencil and acrylic paint. I am open to other mediums.

All my work is "all rights reserved" and are not to be used or copied without permission. Please contact me if you would like to use them on your site, etc. It's OK to use the social media buttons Deviantart provides, though. Please ask before using them any other way.

I could use some points. If you want to send any my way, here's the link. :)

I heard that art here on dA is being scraped for Ai. How do I opt out of that? I am not anti-Ai. I feel it can be a useful tool for inspiration and ideas. But I don't want my art and photos used to train it.

It's a lesser scaup. I am hesitant because $25 is a lot of money to me. It grants free entry into the refuges. But, all the refuges near me are free anyway.

Well, one thing I like about the new format is that I see more content relevant to what I like when I log in.

Happy Birthday a third time! hahaha

Hope you are doing well!
Thanks! I don't think I've logged in here for most of the year! I haven't done any artwork at all this year.  I don't really want to do it anymore.
Oh? Why not? I liked how you made your drawings from life and told stories about them rather than just taking pictures like everyone else (including me) does.
Awww. I've been going through some stuff lately and it's sorta tangent to me being an artist. I have been thinking I might want to do another drawing again, but I don't have the time to do anything right now.

Happy Birthday again!!! :D
Thanks! I haven't been here for a while.
No problem :)
Glad you came back though!
