Lessons from the Great Masters Day 6 – # I
Arizona Revisited I 6.7.15
Arizona Revisited II 6.7.15
Definitely a quantum leap with today’s exercises, which involved creating watercolor monoprints by pressing paper onto wet paint on my white ceramic palette. The effects were both exciting, and not unexpectedly, surprising. After the paper was removed from the palette the images were worked on and as they changed they reminded me of the night sky on the McDowell Sonoran Reserve in Scottsdale, from our recent trip to Arizona.

One final palette piece that deserves its own space, I’m sure you’ll agree…
It’s been quite a day…

Sensational Santorini
On this the eve of the referendum in Greece I thought Day 185 on thechangingpalette would be a good day to post this painting of Santorini from our memorable visit there in July 2000. We have so much to thank Greece for in our modern world that has been shaped by its philosophers, its culture and its history. For this great birthplace of democracy lets hope tomorrow leads to better days ahead.

Canada Day Muse
Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver has been featured many times on thechangingpalette. It is a definite muse and constant source of photographic inspiration, from the crisp clear days of Winter, to the glorious hot days of Summer…
…with the wonderful colours of Spring and Fall in between
….and breathtaking skies and sunsets all year round.
Today was a spectacular Canada Day to walk along the beach to Granville Island
…and the perfect way to celebrate this special day
…made even more special for this newly doting Grandpa.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Canada Day.
