Something Old, Something New

Love the quote- "She walks in beauty"... Lord Byron
"She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!"
Clicking aimlessly through some old saved pictures, I found this one from my friend Nathan Wright, in New Zealand. You can see a ton more of his work (photography) here: http://www6.flickr.com/photos/iwasfixin2/
I adore Vintage. Rough, humble, old, (like I'm feeling right now) and softly faded... great looks for artwork too. Checking out some tutes on this particular "medium" helped me come up with this yesterday... enjoy.
Go out somewhere today, and Walk in Beauty.

Just spent 6 months working in a ... Law Firm. Incessant drama- are the two words that I can use to best describe that place- and I was desperately needing to come back home to help with some medical issues for my husband. I am blessed to again be writing and making art (now in between doctor appointments and tests)- will let everyone know how that unfolds.
This blog is going to change very shortly- and I can't wait to see where it goes. I promise more of me- and us, and less sales BS- if any. :) Whatever is going on- that will be the story- with an artistic twist.
I believe my creativity is shaped by the immediate environment, not just by what I can see, but by what I feel... good and bad. I want to create every single emotion that I can possibly get into a piece of art.
Drama? Always a spike... but now I am (for the first time) about to run (yes, I actually said RUN- ha) with the wind- and can't wait to see where it takes me. Photography has been a base of a lot of my work, and I'm looking for a couple of classes to help me see better...
One of the greates gifts I have received lately- the ability to multi task and accomplish much more- so I look forward to sharing with you much in the next few months-
Look around you- there is a miracle nearby.

A crisp early morning, a light afternoon cool breeze, color changes all around-
It's FALL! The perfect time to think about change, enjoy a respite from the heat, and breathe in a whisper of seasonal difference...
