Artists Inspired: June 2017: Turquoise

Turquoise and where better than the oceans of the Florida Keys.  There is just something about hitting those islands and seeing the color of the water, that has Richard opening the windows, turning up the island music and driving happily along.  Of course, I have my hair blowing all over the place and particularly in my eyes.  However, he is in his element. My…

Artists Inspired: May 2017: Purple

Purple is an interesting color and not one that I wear terribly often.  When I think of purple I think of the Messiah, I think of kings and queens, I think of the opulent robes and wealth, grandeur and wisdom. My father grew many orchids and he had some beautiful ranges of the color purple.  Me on the other hand, do not seem to…

Artists Inspired: March 2017: Green

I am really enjoy posting on the different color themes that we are going through with the Artist Inspired blog group.  This month is green.  I have a love hate relationship with Green.   Green is the beauty of nature and I love nature, but sometimes the green is a yellow green and I am not crazy about that.  I love muted greens, soft…

Artist Inspired: February 2017: Red

This month the theme is red.  Of course, it’s the hearts and roses kind of month, but my roses are dead and the hearts are not out and about just yet.  Valentines day is the day the blog goes live and my out of office meeting where I would typically capture something like this is only at the end of the month.  So I…

Artists Inspired: January 2017: Gray

Tis months color theme for Artists Inspired is Gray, and we recently had a few gray days down at the beach.  I love the color gray.  It fits well into my winter colors of black, red & white.  I had a look at the meaning of colors and found this particular line that resonated with what I am going to share today.  It is…

Artist Inspired: December 2016: White

White is the color for the Artist Inspired theme this month.  I love white.  However, when I think of white I think snow.  Not happening in South Florida!! Christmas?  Sure I use a lot of white at Christmas, but it’s only Thanksgiving.  To be honest decorations are going to be to the minimal this year.  All of my stuff is up in the attic…

Artist Inspired: November 2016: Orange

This month the Artist Inspired theme is Orange. Like pink, orange is not one of my favorite colors.  For a person whose wardrobe consists predominately of black, burgandy’s and blue, orange is kind of bright for me. So what do I think of when I see the topic orange.  Since moving to the USA, orange has become associated with fall, of which I see…

Artist Inspired: October 2016: Pink

The theme this month of Artist Inspired is PINK.  Pink is not my favorite color, however, the Roseate Spoonbill is definitely one of my favorite birds and they happen to be a gorgeous color of pink.  Since I am still not walking out and about, I have gone to some old images I have of this bird.  I often see the Roseate Spoonbill when…

Artist Inspired: September 2016: Gold

It is so hard to believe that a month has past.  I am still in the recovery process of foot surgery and am unable to go out and take photographs right now. The last time I blogged with Artist Inspired, the theme was blue and I shared image from our trip to Friday Harbor.  This month the theme is gold and I decided to…
