GYPSIES, SHIPS, etc. 

JANUARY 30, 2016 

Hi Folks!

Hope your days have been enjoyable...making the best of what you've been given! :)

Fun challenges ahead... First, for THE THREE MUSES challenge blog, the subject is one of my most favorite... a subject that holds incredible fascination for me and about which I've done a great deal of research...GYPSIES!

DIGITAL WHISPER chose their subject to be SHIPS... always a topic that holds mystery and adventure...

Finally, TRY IT ON TUESDAY was interested in the magic of SILHOUETTES... 

That's it for this posting...short and sweet!  See you for my next???

Big Hugs,

...AND ONE MORE 

January 26, 2016 

Oops...forgot one! THE THREE MUSES' request for this week has something to do with doors... I did two...one is a gorgeous Art Nouveau door in a Paris neighborhood and the other is a typical door in Tunesia. One of my favorite things to photograph as my husband and I travel is doors...such an incredible variety... interesting, old, new, ancient, large, small. Then, there are the knockers on some...

Thanks for checking in again... See you next posting?

More hugs,

EARLY VALENTINE and MORE 

January 26, 2016 
  

Whew! Tough few days for winter snow storms on the East Coast!!! Some cities will be a while digging out from their record snowfalls. Not so unusual for Central New York, where we often have lake effect snowstorms with large accumulations of the fluffy white stuff. But, this latest storm missed us completely. Waiting for the next... :)

DIGITALMANIA has introduced us into an exciting new (to me) artist, DAVID ARMS. He's a painter who lives in Nashville. His imagination, attention to detail and ability to seemingly create “something out of nothing”  makes him an inspiration! Here are a few of David's pieces...

 and here are my pieces, inspired by David's art...

DEZINAWORLD15 has challenged artists to create an early Valentine piece of art... with pleasure!

Finally, DIGITAL WHISPER asked to see art about roller skates. I found a vintage photo of a man with prehistoric roller skates and had some fun with it....

Thanks so much for stopping by. Stay safe and warm until we "meet" again. Hope you'll stop by for my next posting...

Big Hugs,
