I only recently found Sherry Dole’s art and was immeasurably charmed. I was so inspired by her eclectic use of color and the graceful, playful faces of her subjects. What lovely artwork. I imagine it would be a wonderous, fanciful journey to view the world through Sherry’s eyes! I look forward to getting better acquainted with this gifted artist.
Sherry writes, “I absolutely Looooove animals and nature so I donate a portion of my sales to various animal shelters and welfare groups. I have two gorgeous dogs, a Pit Bull who I adopted as a Hurricane Katrina survivor and a sort of red Golden Retriever who was adopted from a local shelter. I have four cats, all rescues, who frequently model for me., altho not always willingly.”
Not only is Emille an incredibly talented artist, but she is a wonderful photographer and writer. I have enjoyed her blog immensely. Her photos and insights are inspiring, humorous and thoughtful. She is a lovely inspiration.
Emille writes, “After a busy life as a therapist, I love the simplified one of an artist. Working in oil, pastel, and watercolor. Always open to new experiments. Life is full of new opportunities.”

Having lost our own little Bootz a year ago, I was deeply touched by the artwork of Crystal Shannon. The animals she draws almost seem to move. She has captured the personality of these beloved pets in a way which seems almost magical. I am so moved and inspired by this amazing artist.
Crystal writes, “For over 25 years I have been a student of art. And I will always be a student as I am continually learning and polishing my skills as an artist. I have always been inspired by the beauty of nature and wildlife. I have always really loved animals, and that is another inspiration of mine, and why I love doing pet portraits so much.”

I have been a follower of Photings for several years. It seems whenever something tremendous happens in my life--happy or sad--this artist ministers to my soul. Thank you, Friend--you have filled my eyes and my heart.
This shy and sensitive artist only says, “Photings are jottings on photos.” Thank you dear Magic Eye, for sharing with us!

Carolyn’s blog has the most wonderful photography. Her pictures have an enchanting magic about them. She has an unusual way of framing each of her subjects which holds the eye. I also enjoyed reading her accompanying comments. Her writing is both humorous and thoughtful.
Carolyn writes, “I live in a cabin in the forests of Pennsylvania. I write about what I see and do in the natural world around me. I've been a hawkwatcher for more than 20 years, a birder for longer than that, and a crayfish-catcher since I was a polywog.”
