A few days ago….
It was late. I was tired. I had the urge to put brush to paper, and color.
Spent the day on ‘tech stuff”, repairs on my site.
Inspired by a stitched work of art. Pear. Bright colors.
Made me want to play.
By the light from my monitor.
A quick sketch. A wash, then another.
Feeling better.
Computer off.
Time to sleep.
L.Y.A. 2016 Side swap #10. Waterlily by Sharon H. Lane,
Sharon took this photo of her new pond. What an inspiration! Visit Sharon at her Twistylane. She describes herself as, among other things, a pathological picture taker. Love that.
I love this card, because it made me remember my Aunt Gloria, and her pond. I even remember when she built it. While she was distracted in one corner of the yard my cousins and I were in the other stealing rhubarb meant for pie or jam.
We always teased her. Camping trips, even day trips to the mountains were an excuse for her to collect rocks for the pond. As a kid I didn’t think much about a bunch of ugly rocks. As an adult, I have taken on the same habit. Collecting stones or twigs or sand from my travels.
Thank you Sharon, for sharing your art with me. And for reviving childhood memories of cousins and camping in the glorious Colorado Rockies!
L.Y.A. #5 “Venice” by Louise Mamet.
What is it about Venice that is so intoxicating? I know the answer. Everything. This city is on my bucket list, along with several others in Italy.
Louise Mamet lives in France, we swapped cards last year as well. Visit her blog for more of her colorful photography, or find her on Facebook. You can also follow Louise on Instagram. Treat yourself to a look! I love your work Louise!
Kat Sloma announced today that her card is being sent out. That signals the end of the official swap. I started writing out my side swaps today. A batch will go out tomorrow, some heading overseas. I will be sending the rest out early next week.
Louise, thanks so much for sharing your photography with me.
The world is beautiful through your eyes!
