Other than animals and feeding the birds, my main hobby is a combination of photography and sketching and watercolor. I love photography, but most of the time the photo doesn't say what I want it to. So then I make a sketch or watercolor of the photo and include only the things which I want in the photo. I like it because I can change lighting effects, etc.

I've never shared my paintings or sketches with anyone other than familiy before.

Here's my favorite: this is my daughter getting ready for the prom, and it looks exactly like her. I'm proud of it because it captures her personality so well. What do you think?
