Grace Miner introduces limited edition Gicleé wall art to the home décor
market at The California Gift Show.
Many of Bettie Grace Miner's colorful wine, nature and music inspired
paintings are now available as limited edition Gicleés designed for home décor.
 Inspired by the bold colors of nature, Bettie Grace Miner created a series of fine art pieces tailored for people who want a pop of bold color
and shape to tie their room design together. New collections include wine art, wildlife,
Italian harbors, landscapes and architecture, vineyards, colorful fruits and floral still life,
all in the vivid colors found in nature.
 The hand-embellished Gicleés are available as limited edition prints on
canvas and paper.

Pro Photo Tips
|  | Pro Tip #2:
Flattering Angles
How many times have you seen someone get down low to the ground, imitating that "runway" moment, only to see a widening effect on the hips of the subject when the photo's done? Yikes!
Tip: Just about everyone looks better from a high angle. And very few people can handle a low angle. So, get up on a chair, a rock, a friend's shoulders if you have to, but try the higher angle and you'll look like a pro when it's done.
Example:This is a photograph I took of jazz saxophonist, Mindi Abair. Although she is tiny, I'm guessing about a size 0, she looks amazing from this high angle. I was up on an 8 foot ladder shooting down at her.
P.S. Yes, I also painted the photograph.
