wintry abstraction

Just vellum, a flower and a ray of sunlight.

more snow comin’ …

… but that’s okay.

of course …

Happy Valentine’s Day 😉

and there’s white …

… with a green center

soft pink

ranuncsoftpink

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.

 

oh what a day …

moro

Here in New England we’re awaiting the arrival of what’s being called an epic snowstorm.  A might coating of white will cover the land soon enough.  Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to the warm oranges and reds of the moro or blood orange.  Given the amount of digging I’ll be doing over the next few days, I’ll need all the Vitamin C I can get.  Wherever you are in the world, be well. 😉

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

 

tornado or …?

I was staring at this picture I’d taken of a daffodil, trying to figure out its name, when that fellow in my life walked by and said, “That looks like a tornado,” and then he walked on.  What do you see? 😉
