complex colors

I am not blue today, red with anger, or green with envy. Perhaps I am an opaque shade of brown and black and gray. A splash of burnt orange as the sun continues to rise?
Regardless, just a thoughtful mix of darker hues. That is what I feel as I watch the melting snow. Perhaps it is that falling water that makes me think of tears. Tears blur the world even as they rinse the eyes clean.

I was not very keen on pink as a child, probably because I was forced to wear it far too often. Now I am more appreciative of this color especially as it appears in nature. These are the petals of a ranunculus flower.

“I can’t wait to cut it up!”
Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged art, beauty, collaboration, collage, colors, fashion, illustration, imagination, Inspiration, nature, Photography, storytelling, Zoe Langosy on February 7, 2013| 5 Comments »
Those are the magical words that collage artist Zoe Langosy will sometimes say after viewing my nature-themed photographs. Most recently they were uttered after showing her the following image from an impromptu hike through the Blue Hills, of deep golden light falling upon a stand of birch trees.
It is my continuing pleasure to view such images through Zoe’s eyes, to learn how to see textures and patterns, and then to imagine how such textures and patterns can become part of a larger work with its own story. The story of this woman on a boat and a coyote, you will have to wait for Zoe to share as she continues with this work in progress. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, you can read this post about how we’ve collaborated in the past. And you can see more of her art on this Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LangosyArts
