Studio 365: Day 73
Some forty year old graphic treasures from the bottom drawer.
For today’s Weekly Photo Challenge Cheri asks us to, “Share an image of a wall that reveals something about a place, people, or you.”
This wall in my studio will be familiar to those of you who follow Studio 365, which I started on my blog on the 1st of January this year with the goal of posting every day throughout the year.
If you would like to see the wall in more detail I invite you to visit today’s Studio 365 where I have posted a slide show of many of the wall’s images for Day 72.
Only 293 days to go!
Studio 365: Day 72
For today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall, I posted this photograph in response to Cheri asking us to Share an image of a wall that reveals something about a place, people, or you. .
For Studio 365: Day 72 I thought I would add a slide show of the wall’s somewhat eclectic content for those who might be interested. It includes photos of places like Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, St. Antimo, Tuscany, paintings and photographs of mine that may be familiar to some of you, and a special treasure, a painting by my daughter. The pieces keep changing of course but the gallery makes for a great record of a moment in time. I hope you enjoy it.
Studio 365: Day 71
After Day 70 featured The Blue Danube Waltz, blue continues to be the theme for Day 71.

I drew this cartoon when I was still a schoolboy in the early sixties after listening to Thelonius Monk playing Blue Monk for the first time. If you have a few minutes listen to this great Jazz classic from a 1963 recording of the Thelonius Monk Quartet and available on Revolver Music’s Thelonius Monk, Volume 2. It remains one of my favourite pieces of Jazz to this day.
Somehow I feel that today’s blue palette is a good match for the jazz. What do you think?
Studio 365: Day 70
Using yesterday’s palette, here’s how I removed the acrylic paint today from the white ceramic tile I use as my palette, so that it’s pristine and ready for action tomorrow.

Studio 365: Day 69
Studio 365: Day 68
“Colour exists in itself, has its own beauty…I used colour as a means of expressing my emotions and not as a transcription of nature. I use the simplest colours. I don’t transform them myself it is the relationships which take charge of them. It is only a matter of enhancing the differences, of revealing them. Nothing prevents composition with a few colours, like music which is built on only seven notes”
Henri Matisse from The Path of Colour in Matisse on Art, 1947
The small framed postcard is of Matisse’s Nature morte aux grenades, Vence 1947 from the Musée Matisse in Nice; perfect for another Matisse Monday. The oranges are from Cosco.Studio 365: Day 67
setting indelibly stamped on the imagination
Returning from Victoria to Vancouver this evening on the BC Ferry Coastal Renaissance passing through Active Pass, with the glow of the setting sun reflected on the Coastal Celebration on its way to Victoria. Orange you glad I had my iPhone with me!
