Making an Image Bigger

 
Hey Friends,  I've been playing with blogger again.  I can't seem to do exactly what I want.  I wanted to make the images I post here larger.  I have been going by instructions from Karen Marqulais ........
I did find the area where I made the side bar more narrow so bigger photos could fit (actually I THINK I did this correctly-I haven't published this post yet so it may not work for me)
So I think I've succedded.
The top img is a close up of a commission I'm working on.  Bottom img is my initial start.  I'm not finished but I like it a lot and hope the couple like it too.

Happy Trails

HERONS - Fresh Water

Hey Friends, I thought it was about time to show you a little art work. I'm finished whining for a little while. This piece was inspired by some photos I took on a street festival trip to Florida a few years ago. The herons came from the photos, the rest is pretty much memories of a greenhouse business that used to be in our area that sold aquatic plants. It is painted with acrylics on 300 lb. Arches watercolor paper. One of these days I would love to have a small water garden. Mostly to attract birds, not necessarily to have fish. I'd rather have the fish in an aquarium. I love the sounds of an aquarium.
I listed a couple of items on my page at Design Style Guide and now I need to figure out how to put their logo widget thingy on this blog.
The painting above is also in my Etsy shop. Now I must run out to the studio and varnish 3 pieces I recently finished for a loyal customer.
Happy Trails.
