Tulip Dew

18 04 2009


Tulip Dew, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.

I had yet to post a photo of my lovely pink tulips this Spring so here it is. It had just rained so it seemed like the perfect time to get an interesting photo. I played with the color to make the colors more pastel. I like how it makes the flower seem a bit more fragile.

Cheers!

Observing the City

Observing the City, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.

I have been wanting to incorporate a mannequin in my work, however, I found it impossible to find a reasonably priced, correct sized one. So I made one out of papier mache with Raylene, my Barbie, as the model. I covered her in plastic wrap and then papier mached over that with some old patterns I had laying around. The image in the foreground of this collage is said mannequin. I will post some photos later of the process and finished product. I adore this silhouette, which was what I was going for. I love it when a plan comes together!

Cheers!

Bird Collage

Bird Collage, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.

It was a dreary day, I rebuilt my laptop, and in the interim made this bird collage. I have become a little obsessed with these birds lately so I decided to do little research. Most of the birds I see are blackbirds. Blackbirds mean understanding energies of mother earth, insight, vitality. I am going to have to think about this and figure out how it relates to my work. Here is a link to Animal meanings.

Cheers!

Spring Morning Sun

Spring Morning Sun, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.

My neighbor woke me up early yesterday with a back hoe digging in her back yard. Since I could not sleep I got up and noticed this interesting light outside. I like how the tree is slightly back lit. Stay tuned for some new updates to the blog in the coming weeks!

Cheers!

These birds have been perching in my tree everyday around 4pm and I finally got a photo of them. I am really enjoying the motion in this photo.

Update: please disregard, for now, the new blog. I am having some technical issues and need to decide if I will move my blog or host it on my computer at home. I will keep you all updated.

It was a lovely day and I went for one of my favorite walks around the lake. The light coming through these tree blossoms was stunning. I love the feeling of the warm sun on my face.

I took this photo last week and forgot about it. I like the motion that is captured and the abstract fence in the foreground. It is warming up so expect more post this week.

Cheers!

Wild Nature

No snow here today,  just dreary, icy rain.  Just a quick photo I snapped that seemed to sum up today nicely.

Cheers!

I was downtown today and snapped this photo of this lovely blooming tree. The light was truly stunning and the contrast of the blue sky with the white blooms was great. I hope you are enjoying the blooming Spring.
