Cerulean World

Cerulean World

Recently, in the Facebook pages where my art school friends have found each other 40 years after we left school… the discussion (which is always spirited and interesting with very different views) has turned to the art/craft of glass… and specifically the work of Dale Chihuly. A few have weighed in with differing opinions on whether or not they like the work, the artist, the media attention, the color and style, etc. The discussion got me thinking about the glass I’ve photographed and how attracted I am to it’s properties of light and reflection… color and suspended movement. It’s endlessly varied… a wonderful medium for artists with the skill and patience to work with it. A quick review of some of my collection of images resulted in a small collection of glass works… only one of which is the work of Mr. Chihuly. (Do you know which one?)

Editing the latest group of photos from St Martin… the hidden hearts have surfaced… some I see at the time the images were captured and some afterwards, viewing the thumbnails of the files in my image processing workflow. I have many of them from everywhere I’ve traveled. There’s a large file of them tucked away amid the files of other various hidden images… (a special catagory of photography close to my heart.) But, for now… here is a small gallery of hidden hearts found on the recent trip… and a few from a trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (home town!) that I made recently. They are present everywhere and to find one… all you have to do is… look for them. Try it and let me know what you find…

More true love

Hidden hearts

Hidden hearts

Now see… this is what I mean about true love… they find me everywhere. I think hearts are the most common shape that I find in just about every kind of surface and texture that I see. These were underfoot in the tile floor of this lovely house that I’ve been able to call home for the last two weeks. We’ve been coming to St Martin for the last 10 years… renting different houses and loving the different cultures here… Caribbean, Dutch, French… all sorts of folks make this place their home… and home away from home. It’s starting to feel like home to me, too…

Regardless of how many vacation snaps I capture… or more arty landscapes, seascapes or still life compositions documenting a vacation trip. I always seem to have a much larger proportion of closeups of my true love… peeling paint! I’m drawn to it like a magnet… composing and adjusting for the correct DOF, focus and lighting. Add rust, scratches, plant parts, textures, rocks, tile, stone, concrete, wood and other surfaces too numerous to mention to the mix and you have a very full camera and vacation pictures that are a tad confusing to anyone casually looking at my files. My husband is used to me searching out the nearest dumpsters when were visiting some exotic local. Hey, exotic place = exotic grunge (theoretically)! For me… that’s where they keep the… ART!

Irristable blues

They are everywhere and cannot be escaped… but who would want to. Better to lose yourself in them and forget the real world. Too soon I’ll leave and return to the ‘other’ world. No less special… but without the intensity of….  these blues… Caribbean blues.

I have a great love of finding the hidden beauty in those hidden places that are overlooked… the macro… the up-close view that reveals the art hidden in odd places. In St Martin those places are happily… plentiful!
