Day 17

I've been a little obsessed with blue & orange lately! Ideas kept swimming in my mind, and I set out on a little quest to capture them in photographs :) There is a lot of blue & orange out there, and I'm not sure I'm finished with it. But this is my final cut for now (haha). These 5 are framed and ready to go up in the hallway, as sort of a little private exhibition - if you're in the neighbourhood, please drop in :)These two - A4 in an A3 frame! - are on the living room wall, hanging over the couch. I love how patiently Squirt cooperated with these for the price of a couple of blue and orange smarties :D The one on the left was him showing a couple of sweets to the camera of his own accord - he's a natural ;)

Today's gratitude is all for creativity. I love this buzz, ideas that keep coming, refusing to leave! To be quite honest, I have a little bit of paint-anxiety right now... No idea where it's coming from or why - yet. But you know what?! It doesn't matter! Because for the past couple of days, I found a different outlet for creative fever, and it's all good. I'd almost forgotten how much I love my camera, too - so maybe it's all because I needed that reminder!

  2. I love that you rediscovered your camera! Thank you for your kind comment, and heartfelt comments can take up as much space as you want. =)
    I am glad you have found a community where you live now, and you will treasure it more because you know what it feels like not to have it. Oh! You have a beautiful name too, I share it too but don't get to use it much as it is my middle name!

  6. What a wonderful idea! a series of photos displayed together in the same colors but different things! they look fabulous! I think I may use your great idea and do some green and yellow.. ( your complementaries do look magic though!)
    I DEFINITELY always start wanting to paint if i TOTALLY ignore it and do something else creative ! .. good for you!

  8. Creativity is a wonderful gratitude. I'm grateful for that which makes me so happy too. A gift of yours you share here. I'm a HUGE fan of orange. My diaper bag was a blazing orange messenger bag, we have an orange wall in our house (I mention that here: http://www.wordplayhouse.com/2011/08/raising-happy-children.html), and our sun wears an orange autumn coat. I'm loving your orange too...and the lovely wall art of your son you are making with it!)

  9. I love the quintich, Yvonne!
    How did you frame it, same as the ones below?
    The way you photographed them I thought at first you had put them on a sort of gilded background, which I find quite intriguing!
