Fuzzy Skins times ThreeOne of the things I am learning about my digital camera is that I take lots of shots of lots of things. Sometimes I am surprised at what I get. Sometimes I am surprised by what I had not seen.
Three In A Row
Daughter Susan teaches at a rural school and stopped by her classroom last week to return some books and files. When she came home, she had bags of fresh veggies and a basket of peaches from a roadside stand. She said she couldn't resist because the peaches near the school were begin picked and the peach smell filled the air. We spread them out on a table and the peach smell filled the house.
"Is This My Best Side?"
Don't just paint what you think you see.
In Its Shadow
Create other possibilities of lighting and composition with photos or thumbnails.
Okay, Line Up
Try a series of paintings.
Waiting On Stage
Make notes in your sketchbook or in your files. "The peaches were being picked."
Two Plus Three
Sometimes I need a reminder.

Love that you're putting more photos up... it's like you've discovered a whole new medium. And that wonderful experience doesn't come along all that often.
Heh, heh. I used to be known as the world's worst picture taker. My film processing folks thought about giving me an award. I always assured them that I want to paint from general shapes and that I didn't worry about details.
The digital imagery has been fun; there is little time for sketching or writing. Good thing. Lately, I've mostly had grass, a few flowers, the kittens, Lucy and, now Belle, as subjects. I've got to get out more!

I love what you have done with the peaches.
Thanks, Joyce. The photos were serendipitous. I really hadn't planned a thing and was amazed at the results. I think I'd like to do a few more like them.
