- About Me:
- Retired Professional Engineer getting back to enjoying my interest in art, photography, vintage aircraft, blacksmithing and other relaxing past times. Married for over 30 years with two adult sons and two granddaughter. I sketched frequently when younger but lost interest during my working career. I took a few community painting courses and rekindled my desire. Currently working in watercolours in a realism form and focusing on people settings that invoke an emotional feeling to me. I use my own photos as reference material and take some license at times. I have followed the career and been influenced by Ken Danby as well as other Canadian realist painters.

- Has evolved over the years from folk, to rock, show tunes, jazz, new age and currently have a bent for blues.
- Favorite Books:
- Ontario history and family genealogy. Read adventure novels with a following of Clive Cussler, Ken Follet, Dale Brown plus others.

- Hi Robert,
Thankyou for your comment. I take that you are a fan of aircraft. My father was a pilot in the military. He joined the Air Force in 1941, flew during the war , but stayed in after, and retired after a distinguished flying carreer of more than thirty years, and retired out of Downsview, I grew up living beside Airforce Bases.
Have Fun
Catherine

- Hi Bob,
Sure, go ahead and create a subgroup for your photos, if you like. You can also separate your artwork and photos into separate galleries. Whatever works best for you. What problems were you having when you tried to post your photos to Allan's Photo Group?
Cheers!
Mike
"I frequently post photos on DASONET but I am concerned I am infringing on the photos of member's art ( including my own ). I have not been successful in posting in the Photo sub-group. Do you have any objection or thoughts/thoughts on segragating photos from art photo images on this site?
Bob "
