A ruby bouquet for a ruby wedding.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue
The dialogue between the photograph and the painting as it changes continues until that moment when the conversation ends and the painting is considered finished. The two photographs were taken at the magical Castello di Reschio in Umbria and the paintings completed in my studio back home. I have previously posted the different stages of the second painting, entitled Cypress Alleyway, in response to a previous WPC: Layers, for those of you who would like to have a “virtual” studio visit.
Rubies are red, violets are blue
Forty years on and I’m still loving you.
Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to the love of my life.
The Weekly Bouquet: August 25
This is definitely the summer of love with our beautiful daughter’s wedding day yesterday.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Fray
“Photographs will always be impressive because they show us nature, and all artists will find in them a world of sensations.”
Henri Matisse; Statement on Photography, 1908
The frayed tassels of the well-worn bookmarks of my treasured Henri Matisse: a novel by Louis Aragon, which you will have seen recently residing on my library shelf.
Beauty and the Beach

In response to Ben asking us “What makes us go “Click!” and as a final submission to Cheri’s WPC “Silhouette”. Those of you who have been following my blog know that Kits Beach and English Bay are two of my favourite subjects and you can find more pictures by following the links from my tags below.
Take my hand
The cropped version of Silhouette 2 for the WPC seemed to deserve its own post. I hope you agree…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette 2
Another breathtaking sunset over English Bay tonight with more silhouettes on Kits Beach to share with you that couldn’t be more perfect.
Poetry in Motion
For lovers of So You Think You Can Dance I took these photographs during the broadcast just over a week ago of the exquisite Jacque Le Warne dancing a pas de deux with allstar Chehon Wespi-Tschopp. They were choreographed by the brilliant Travis Wall and were dancing to the Adagio for TRON by Daft Punk. If you saw this magical performance, which was made even more magical by their silhouettes, I’m sure you will agree that it was sublime in every way; true Poetry in Motion….
