Evening Phlox

EVENING SHADOWS

Spring!

The first blossoms of lavender phlox have appeared.  Spring is here.

Out of the Bag

Amzaing what can be found at resale shops.   Thrift and resale shops can be a  fun time out.  Brought this little plant home and watched the light play across the bag for several days before pushing the little button.

What fun it is playing with Photoshop CS6.....I love it!   This image is an experiment.  I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Time Flies

Here is a lavender-colored, flowering plant in an old crock--taken this past week. May use as an accent in stone house, or meetinghouse, photograph and create an altered art piece. Or...may do a sketch using tinted graphite pencils.

A week has gone by since I last posted. Where does the time go?

During this week, we had company and prior to their arrival did a ton of cleaning. The house looks nice.

Went to an estate sale and also to my favorite resale shop. Found some neat props (all for under $50.) The best find is a wooden saffron container from the 1800's. Coming in second is a blue and white porcelain Chinese ivy starter. There was a millifiore paperweight (at the estate sale) that appears to be "end of the day." "End of the day" is when the artist uses scrap glass to make some not so perfect items. Since I already have an antique millifiore paperweight, a collection may be in the making.

Painting seems to be on the back burner for now. Instead, I will make my photographic paintings using light instead of paint and a camera instead of brushes. An occasional drawing will be fun to do too.
