A Beautiful Blue Morning

This morning, after a hearty breakfast, I set out with my camera, up and down the spiral staircase, snapping photos. At first I tried shooting randomly. Butterflies. Light filled bottles. Coffee grounds and unfinished toast. But, quite frankly, I can only be random for so long. My brain started to look for patterns in terms of what was drawing my eye. In the end, of all the beauty around me, I decided to keep focus on the color blue. Like a blue marble left by a child in a crack in the floor.

Dish soap drizzled onto a china white plate.

Milk in an indigo glass.


And turquoise paint on a brush.

Kaleidoscopic Tree
Well, as gray skies gave way to rain, I figured it was okay to pull out pictures and papers and glue once again to play with colors layered on the page.

Moonstruck
The moon is still significant, as are boats sailing the blue seas.

The Race
These sails were inspired by some Japanese block prints I viewed online.

There’s no comparison to nature’s beauty but I did have fun making these paper flowers quickly one night using a combination of old photos, magazine scraps, construction paper and a black marker on white paper. I’ll likely turn them into fun postcards that can be sent to brighten someone’s mail box. 😉




Nature’s Paintbrush

When I first saw the leaf in the landlord’s garden, I thought that it was fake. Such vibrant colors in a single leaf nestled in the dying grass of a fading garden. Especially when I noticed the hole at the top.

I just knew it had to be a store bought item — like a nature-inspired gift tag — dropped by the landlord or perhaps blown in by the autumn winds.

But then I picked it up. Wow!
