I hope everyone has enjoyed the season so far. The solstice here (Florida coast) was hot and humid but with a nice breeze and blue skies. This image is a solstice card I did for 2006, it is completely digital and the original photos were taken of an old church in rural Virginia. My husband Bob took the photo of the moon. The words “Is your life a channel of blessing?” were from an old hymnal. May 2012 be a year of blessings for you, yours and all of us.

Peace,

This is a 12×12 journal canvas that is one of five in a theme of obsessive love and compulsive thoughts. The title is “Off the Rack” and is composed from two original photographs, a background of tissue paper, heavy stenciling, working back in with acrylics and brush and then journaling on her face with pencil and on the canvas with white Sharpie™ poster paint marker. When these pieces appeared in a show, I was surprised that men were as interested in them as women.

A couple of years ago as I went through my Florida room I noticed this beautiful cast shadow on the wall. There was a bird knick knack sitting on a shelf and the sun was hitting it just the right way to cast this lovely shadow. I was lucky to find my camera in time to record it. Note: if you haven’t captured shadow images yet, time is of the essence. The little blurries around the bird are actually light moving…it happens that fast. I save all my found shadow pictures, even blurries and bad compositions. I do what I can to photoshop the formats but the haziness is left unattended. This type of photography brings me such joy.
