Tip of the Day:
Try using the complement of your shadow color to provide high contrast shadows.   Make a sandwich by Adding  your darkest color, applying the compliment on top and then your dark shadow color on top again.   Make sure to blend out with your midtones to make it smooth. .

I am spending a couple days at Yosemite for a little R&R.   It is raining really heavy outside but I guess it doesn't stop the stores from being open for a little shopping and there is a casino near by!   I am a lucky woman!   
Have a wonderful and safe day, my friends!   Come back soon!
