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… :)))

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!
