Viewing a Painting

'Purple Mist'
I've uploaded it into a wall template design to get a feel of how it might look in a room. What do you think? Better as just the painting, or does it help to see it in a room?

Things I Love (Day 11)

New grapes growing on the vine
Scent of jasmine wafting through open windows
People who answer the phone with a smile in their voice

(Day 11)

Things I Love (Day 4)

Beach glass in shades of blue
Loons on the water
Lapping waves

Color Inspiration - Old Fashioned Rose

Color Inspiration from our new rose garden. Can't you just smell this David Austin old fashioned rose?

I accidentally over-exposed this shot, but ended up liking the result - soft, warm pinks, greens and taupe all on the Warm, Light Earthone color wheel (from Eye For Color)

Purple with a Splash of Chartreuse

Eye For Color Inspiration

I have so much to be thankful for... not the least being that I had just taken photos of all my jewelry (before it was stolen) - for a new book that I am writing.

I've got lots of work left on my new book, and I wasn't planning to let the word out so soon. But you have all been so giving with your comments and support that I want to give you a little something back.

Here is an excerpt - I hope the depth of green in this inspiration will help nurture and calm you, as it does me.

Shades of Green (another Blog Hop day)

All the lovely colors of green..












So much depth, as nature knows - GREEN is a perfect backdrop for all of the other colors.

But equally stunning on it's own.
