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…

Park your dirty little heart right here
The peeling heart
The discarded heart

The secret heart
The posted heart
The mysterious heart

The rusted heart
The true love hearts
The wild red heart

The glass heart
Time and Space
The crowned heart

Artful food

One cannot live on photographs, editing, uploading, sketching and watercolors alone… so at some point one must prepare or… gather… some food and on the island of St Martin, it is artful indeed. Of course the French boulangeries are the obvious place to find it in its most artful form. In Marigot, Sarafina’s is a favorite just across from the ferry port and outdoor market. Trying to decide what to choose slows the line to a crawl… so better order two of whatever you choose. Even our everyday breakfast fare became something to make special… it only seemed right in the presence of such… artful delights!

Change sunrise

Change sunrise

A definite change… still, warmer, humid, mosquitos! Hearing things you don’t hear when the breeze is running… the dog down the hill… a carpenter cutting wood somewhere far off. Preceded by a night of wind and rain that rattled the shutters, the sunrise sky is like none we’ve seen since we arrived. I’ve amused myself with my watercolor postcards, finding hidden pictures on the tiles of the floor and pool lounging when the sun is not quite so high. I’m getting the hang of the watercolors. I’ve never liked the medium… I’m too impatient and tend to overwork a piece by not letting the color dry before I work on top of it. The breeze here taught me something. It helped dry things up and I could see that I had to wait. Learn something every day… try new stuff… keep those brain cells moving… :)))

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.

Lost in the blues

Blue air

Palm shadow

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!
