What a crazy year, and I don’t just mean in world politics. I think each year I write about the chaos of my indoor garden but this year it is super chaotic. And that’s okay. The leaves still catch the light beautifully. 🙂

I’m having a great time playing with the early autumn light. Use these acrylic blocks as suncatchers or paperweights or both. You can find them in one of my online shops by clicking here.
I’m hoping to expand the collection throughout the autumn in time for holiday needs but I think they make unique gifts anytime of year.
In addition to my own images, I see exciting opportunities to work with the digitized images of great works of art that are now available for use in the public domain. The creative journey continues. 🙂

Probably one of the most popular photos I’ve taken in recent years has been that of The Yellow Leaves, an autumn scene in Dublin with pale yellow leaves falling from the white barked branches of a tree on the UCD campus. The image is now available in glass … just click here …
and as a print in a variety of sizes … just click here.
I’ve been luck enough to travel to Dublin several times over the past few years. Each journey regardless of season has presented new opportunities to engage with the beauty of the urban landscape. I’m not sure when I’ll next return but it’s great fun to work with these images in new ways.

new items to brighten one’s home

That was how my creative process worked … in the dark of winter what might I like to see on the kitchen table or on a window sill or weighing down my papers … something that would remind me that spring will return. Acrylic blocks that fill with light, in sizes 4×4 and 6×6.
As we ease into autumn, at least so far here in New England, I hope to create time to sort through my images and create more of these lovely items. Until then you can also periodically peek at my Redbubble shop and see if you find something to your liking. 🙂
