Thursday Challenge: Color


This is a photo of a group of old sap buckets I use to put flowers in. I thought the grouping was worth a pic.

Beautiful Sunday: August 27, 2006


Cemeteries are a favorite place of mine to go take photos. The old tombstones, mausoleums and statues are especially beautiful.

Thursday Challenge: Plant


Now I hope you notice this photo has two examples of "plant".:-) One: it's a cemetery and two: the poppy and wildflower seeds were "planted" here and bloom each spring. This cemetery has been a/r for over one hundred years, the wildflowers just make it that more scenic. I drive by this each year telling myself to take a picture and this year I did.

Picture Words


Here's a new photo challenge that I've discovered. "Picture Words" posts a quote that each participant interprets with their own photo. This week the quote is,"Cities need old buildings". I totally agree with that idea. Old buildings have so much character that is hard to reproduce. This church is over 100 years old. Picture Words

Moody Monday: Moving


This is a crop from the signage of "The World's Largest Traveling Reptile Show":-). They had a 950 lb. crocodile from the Amazon—"ALIVE", another alligator as well as snakes and reptiles of all kinds. I like the retro looking graphics in their display. They seem to capture the feel of a bygone era.

Illustration Friday: Play


At Illustration Friday, the theme is "Play". It didn't take too long to come up with my idea and sketch. As much as I spend on my computer "working", I spend just as much sometimes in "playing".

Seasons


Inspiration Thursday's challenge for this week is an open challenge. My entry for this week is "Seasons", melted crayon on paper. I did this technique for Illustration Friday a couple of weeks ago and I love this. So I did more.

Art Blog Challenge: Danger

Thursday Challenge: Happy


There's something about this groovy polyester quilt that makes my happy. Maybe it's the colors but probably it's the idea that people used to wear clothes made out of these pieces of fabric. Then they'd look in the mirror and think, "Man, I look gooood." :-)

Beautiful Sunday: August 6, 2006


For "Beautiful Sunday" my post an illustration from a vintage childrens' book. I found it in a flea market. The book is "Little Pictures of Japan", illustrated by Katharine Sturges. All the pictures in it are beautiful. Beautiful Sunday
