I get so much joy as an artist taking these pictures like this : quickly and sometimes quite a few as I get inspired and really caught-up in the moment. This one being outside on our back deck with my wife on a weekend probably last year in 2010 sometime when the flowers were in bloom here?
I love taking pictures through my wine glass. Chris Bartha gave me these bottles from Cobblestone Selections. There's a dry rose from Austria from ZULL and the red I believe was from Spain? I have already blogged about these at : chatwine.blogspot.com and so you can check that out, too. This is about the art of the moment for me being an active artist myself.
Sometimes I cannot draw and so I use my camera to draw quickly to keep the flame alive for me and so that I may draw later. These pictures are fun. I love seeing how the glass distorts and blurs and changes the image behind. It's a great addition to the image itself besides it. Don't you agree? Gives you more to analyze and absorb and grapple with? Not quite so easy - not quite so quick. That's all good. Go into automatic pilot, push the pause button and reflect some. See the red humming bird feeder in both pictures? We have humming birds and we love them.
That may be the flox blooming in the picture above. I think that it is. Cheers and stay-tuned for more and enjoy this Sunday, May 5th, 2011. It's a bit cool and a bit gray but lovely now at 12:20PM and I'm off to go outside and continue reading the Sunday edition of the Washington Post newspaper that I still love to hold between my fingers and read. There's some pretty good reading in the Outlook section that I sated and need to finish now before it's too late. TONY
We are getting our shipment of dry roses from Cobblestone Imports this coming Friday so stay-tuned for more on that. Thanks Chris ...
