Catching Up

Oh my, I have fallen behind with my posting here...Yikes!  Time to do a catch up. So...here we go:


Working with Procreate on my iPad, I was able to create a small painting and add handwritten notes.

Next, I shared on Facebook this watercolor that was painted in 7 minutes during what was to have been a 45-minute demonstration (back in the 70s while giving a watercolor workshop).  Demonstrations would usually take 45 minutes.  Seven minutes was a huge surprise for me.

Bowl of cherries painted using apps on iPad from iPhone image.  I really like how this turned out.

This is a more saturated image and I think I like it better than the softer one...not sure...

I may reshoot today adding something to create interest.

Note to self: Minor modifications needed.

White and Light

Experimenting with light and white is endlessly fascinating. Like a coat of many colors, white surprises the viewer with a plethora of colors:

For the Love of Hydrangeas

Oh, how I love playing with light and color. Before my last blossom fades away, I had to catch it up close and personal.

How Sweet It Is

Bob picks hydrangeas for me to shoot without my asking. Sweet!

Peaches, Egg and Hydrangeas

Reshot image from the other day with some additions. This time no problem with the white balance, or lighting. Below two different moods...similar setup.

Subtle changes create differences in tone and mood.

Phase 2

Sepia Altered Art Image

Was not happy with a photograph taken earlier today so...I revised it and developed this sepia image similar to the Digital Bromoil style I created several years ago. Tomorrow I may add finishing touches.

HYDRANGEAS WITH EGG CUP

Canton Cup with Tea Caddy and Hydrangeas

As promised, here is my estate sale find (the tea caddy) with fresh hydrangeas and a handleless Canton cup. While doing research on Canton china, I learned that George Washington loved blue and white Canton. How about that?

TEA TIME circa 1750

Hydrangeas After The Storm and A Lone Holly Hock

Promised I would shoot hydrangeas today, so here they are. May do more tomorrow. I love the delicate shades of these blooms. I find them romantic.

Love the raindrops on this one (Holly Hock):

Happy Easter!

Went to town two days ago and found a bed of bright tulips and the church steeple. Yesterday while waiting at a red light saw these hydrangeas. Spring is filled with a variety of greens...I love the bright chartreuse of this season.
