Palette Serendipity 1.2.16
Sometimes you just have go with the flow. There I was cleaning my palette today when suddenly it began to take on a life of its own.
The unplanned abstract shapes that appeared seemed to be asking for a little colour.
With the vibrant pots of watercolours still sitting in my Advent Palette I was only too happy to oblige. Definitely worth the diversion I hope you agree.
Happy Monday.
Advent Palette I 29.1.16
You may remember my Moment of Zen in response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle earlier this month using David’s Tea wonderful Advent Calendar for 2015. I had been planning to re-purpose the empty glass tea pots and today’s Weekly Photo Challenge from Jen was the perfect stimulus to create an Advent Palette full of vibrant colours.
Advent Palette II 29.1.16
Many thanks to David’s Tea.
With our beautiful granddaughter visiting this weekend I couldn’t be more optimistic.
This palette alphabet has been created with layers and masks in Photoshop Elements using photographs of some of my palettes from last year’s Studio 365 together with a relief alphabet obtained online from Coloring for Kids.
Thanks to Michelle who invited us to “let the alphabet be your inspiration” for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Alphabet.
Happy Wednesday
…by way of Chagall, Degas, de Kooning and Gauguin. More books to enjoy from A to G.
Time to enjoy G to M from my library shelf.
Hard to resist just one more visit to the well of weightlessness.
This week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Weight(less) from Ben has given me the perfect excuse to open up the archives once again and revisit a never-to-be-forgotten afternoon nearly fifty years ago shooting rehearsals at Covent Garden in London. You may remember my other archival visit in response to the Photo Challenge: Broken last May, which I cheekily entitled “Peeping Beauty”. As I wrote then, my negatives are as pristine today in their protective sleeves as they were all those years ago.
Although I love the convenience of modern day digital photography, I have to confess there is something magical about 35 mm film as I think back and remember waiting anxiously for those images to slowly appear in the dim orange light of the photographic dark room.
I hope you’ll agree the image I have chosen has “the air of weightlessness” about it that Ben has asked us for.
One of twenty-four terrific teas to taste from David’s Teas 2015 Advent Calendar.
…for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle
