Anniversary Bouquet 28.8.15

Sunflowers for our 41st wedding anniversary today for the one who brings sunshine into my life each and every day. If you would like to see the real bouquet I have posted it on this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, together with one of our special wedding presents, which is as beautiful today as the day we received it forty one years ago. Take a look.

Matting and framing in the studio today. It’s always exciting and reassuring to see how an image can be transformed with a simple mat and appropriate frame around it.

Today was definitely a good day and in keeping with this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from Cheri I have also put the above images in a Mesh gallery for comparison. If you have time I would be interested in your input comparing the two galleries in the pole below, particularly as I am not yet sure whether the Mesh gallery is the way to go. I suspect the Mesh developers would be interested too.

Many thanks.

Core Values 20.8.15

A little explanation of today’s post. Sifting through that bottom drawer again I came across this drawing from a class in 1981 in which the exercise was to draw an apple core without looking at the page.

It stimulated me to reproduce this lovely Red Delicious before and after I had munched my way through it using watercolour, ink, pencil, charcoal and pastel.

Some came out quite well although I have to admit the pastel was not a success as it is a medium with which I am not that familiar; something to work on.
