Just yellow roses in a bowl nestled amidst fresh herbs, sitting on a kitchen table.

An Interior Light in the Tulip
I don’t think of myself as an “abstract” person but of late I have felt like exploring that side of myself, especially today when I know there are other things I should be doing. 😉 I will do those things but …
Herbs in Silhouette on the Kitchen Table
… for a moment I give myself permission (once again) to creatively procrastinate by sorting through the digital files and pulling out a few images catching my attention. Some certainly bordering on the abstract. All imbued with a certain light and play of shadows.
Fresh Basil Reflected in Glass of a Blueberry Print
Water on the Green
Window Frames in Shadow on the Wall
Cactus All Aglow
Mystic River Lights Through Reeds
Behind the Fence Brightly
Ideas are starting to come to mind for how I might use these and other images. But … after a while … procrastination is procrastination no matter what adjective I put in front of the word. And so, for now, I must put away the camera and avert my eyes from photography files. At least until tomorrow. 😉

I took these photos around my neighborhood over the past week.
Hard to believe that there’s a chance of snow over the next few days.

Speaking of light … just click on the picture to see more of the luminous work of Donald Langosy, and to learn how music … and the lack of it … influence his art.
Or click here. Enjoy!

It was the owls that first caught me, dark eyes so wise and brilliant with life.
Then I noticed the other little birds, dark bodies reminiscent of the sparrows of my Virginia youth. The artist, Angie Pickman, is based in the midwest of Kansas. I don’t make it out that way very often and so when I see glimpses of her work in my email box via her blog I am thankful for the internet for allowing me to see such creative beauty made out of black paper.
Without ever seeing her blog posts about music, one can sense the lyricism in Angie’s cut paper work. I’ve told her — and I am being sincere — that she has redefined my sense of black paper and negative space. Given that she does post on occasion about music and that her paper cuts titles sometimes refer to birdsong, I asked her how music influences her visual art. And to my pleasure she replied. Simply click on any of the images above to learn how music has shaped this artist’s work. Enjoy!
