Canvas Photo Art

I like taking pictures when I am taking walks around the neighborhood and downtown.  I see so many shots waiting to be taken that I have to control myself at times.  Every so often, I have to "prune" my vineyard, getting rid of some duplicate or similar shots, or ones that just don't seem appealing to me.  The total goes up and down, but right now I'm close to 17,000 photos.  Time to pare down again.

I've been getting emails from the MyPublisher website notifying me of various sales and specials for a while now.  When I saw that the canvas prints were at 40% off, I thought I would give it a try.  I went through events that came to mind, selecting various photos, some scenic, some close-ups, some family, some events, to try and pick one that I thought I wouldn't grow sick of looking at.  I decided on the above, one section of the Vinoy Renaissance Resort, which is within walking distance of my apartment.  It's a favorite locale for me and my family too.  In fact, we take a family shot in front of the Christmas tree in their lobby every year.  And the girls and I went there for our "Christmas dinner" ( click here for link ) when they visited me around my first Christmas here in St. Pete.

I was very pleased and am thinking of ordering more when there is another good sale.  The stretched canvas measures 24" x 36".  It was delivered within 6 days and came with the wire attached on the back for hanging.  All I had to do was take it out of the package and hang it up!

I may experiment with some photos, maybe giving them some special effect.



But then, I remember I'm going to have to live with them for a while!  Excuse me, I have a few photos to look through.
