Studio Light Painting I
Night and Day: this first-time light painting photograph in the shadowy studio at night is so much more dramatic than its day-time counterpart. Progress is definitely being made in the light painting department I think. I hope you agree.

Studio 365 day two and given this week’s Photo Challenge: New from Michelle, the perfect opportunity to share a new painting in association with my new goal of posting a photo from the studio each day of the year, a new header and the second day of a new year. What could be a better start? The view is from the Liquidity Winery in beautiful British Columbia’s Okanagan. It’s not yet finished, but it’s well on the way.
When I published the first Monday Bouquet at the beginning of the year I wrote that my goal for 2014 would be “to post a bouquet, photographed or painted, each Monday throughout the year.” With the posting of yesterday’s Monday Bouquet, which is to be the last, I’m happy to say that my goal has been met.
I hope you enjoy the warmth and colour of today’s gallery of all the bouquets and perhaps find one that you might like to download to brighten your days in the year to come. If you do, let me know which one you choose. I certainly have my favourites now that I see them all together for the first time.My thanks to all of you for visiting this past year and commenting so warmly.
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.
Although this picture of Sunday blissfully enjoying her favourite spot in front of the fireplace will be family to many of you from Photography 101, I felt it deserved a reappearance for this week’s Photo Challenge: Warmth.
The brilliant yellows of the murals of the Musée National Fernand Léger, Ville de Biot in the South of France.
This collage featuring Olga Korbet, the golden girl of the ’72 and ’76 Olympic Games, will be familiar to those of you who follow my Monday Bouquet.
Her never-to-be forgotten gold medal performances and a smile that is as heart warming and magical today as I remember it in 1972 are worth re-visiting in this official YouTube video from the International Olympic Committee: http://youtu.be/c2NGqI6FqeQ
For Krista’s Photo Challenge: Yellow, and Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Golden
Season’s Greetings everyone.
Twinkling lights from the 22nd Annual Gingerbread Village, which we enjoyed seeing at the Sheraton Hotel in Seattle a week ago; well worth the visit.
