137/365 Captured Moments - Soft & Romatic Blues

I can't get enough of these beautiful blues, I love how the soft blurred background flowers convey depth, and the romantic atmosphere.

67/365 Captured Moments - Days End

When I headed out tonight to take pictures, the sky was mostly soft shades of grey, with wonderful areas of luminous light.  I wasn't expecting to see these glorious hues sweeping across the sky but as the sun sank in the west the sky filled with an exquisite saturation of color.  It was a very relaxing way to end the day.

Shades of Green - Pastel Painting

As a still life artist I have quite a collection of odds and ends cluttering up my home expressly for the purpose of being a prop for one of my still life paintings.  For this painting I pulled out the greens, old greenish tinted bottles, a large green fabric ornament, and a small heavy green ornament.  I arranged them in a little alcove in my kitchen, where for a very short period of time I get some wonderful strong afternoon sun which is great for making some nice shadow action as well as excellent contrasts.
