i am painting away, like never before, in preparation for my art show in 9 days...gulp....so i did not think i would be posting ......but i just had to share these gorgeous shots i took yesterday.
i took a break from the studio and hiked this 3 mile trail in a nearby park.....and boy, am i glad i did!
ENJOY.
did i "enhance" some of these shots in photoshop?? why, yes i did.
are some of these shots out of focus?? why, yes they are....it is fun to purposely shoot out of focus, to really see the colors.
were these scenes as pretty in real life??
EVEN BETTER.
nature amazes me.
i am so glad i took the time for this hike, as today it has been raining and i fear most of these pretty leaves have been fluttering to the ground.
i hope you can take "the time" too!
o.k. back to the studio for me!

xxoo
p.s. a special thanks to my darling husband.... who has been cooking all the meals.... and loves me even though, i have been wearing old paint covered shirts, sweat pants and yesterdays make-up....i think i have been brushing my teeth, but i might have forgotten?
love you, babe!

hi everyone! just popping in here..... with some pics i took around the house (mostly in my dining room).....thought i'd better share some halloweenie shots before it was too late.
this is about as scary as i get when it comes to halloweenie decor......
some black crows...
and spiders under glass....there is a problem with the spiders that i made......can you guess what it is??
this is not halloweenie at all......but the morning light was so purty, hitting the sand dollars that i collected a couple of weeks ago at the beach.
yes folks, that is a picture of ME (in the plastic wig, early "Toddlers and Tiaras") and my little brother.....circa ??? ahem.
our fall leaves are peaking right now and the afternoon light was hitting these beautiful leaves in my backyard....in a such a magical way......this shot is for my two special bloggy friends ( Z and Becca) who live in the desert of las vegas...and perhaps don't get to see the magic of the leaf change like i do.
this weekend at the nashville flea market, i was absotootly tickled, to find these white chenille punkins!!
i love old chenille blankets and have been collecting them for years, especially the white ones....there is just something about the nostalgic look of these blankets that has spoken to me for a very long time.....they conjur up feelings of sweet grandmotherly hugs.
you may remember these orange chenille punkins that i shared last year....the same sweet unassuming lady at the flea made these too.
i bought them from her six years ago...the very first year she started selling them....i still love them and have them displayed in my kitchen......
but these white ones are my new faves!!
cute!!
