Nature's Palette


Evening rays of sunshine
touched the cherry blossoms out my window
casting long shadows
and spinning delicate white petals into gold


I'm surrounded by bead soups and color wheels and getting ready for my upcoming shows. I can't help being inspired by nature's every changing palette on this gorgeous spring day.

  2. I like it that you put your color wheel behind the beads. I have been thinking of getting your system, because color combos are my biggest challenge. Seeing it with the beads is really incentive to buy the system!

  3. The light in this post is some of the best I have ever seen. It reminds me of weddings and celebrations, of purity.

  15. P.S color is great, but in photography light is the magic element as is so evident in the cherry blossoms.
