this was easily predicted

I don't know who these kids were, but they were on the roof at the Met a couple of weeks ago. I was shooting pics of the rooftop installation.. not my style actually, so I was mostly staring when this series took place in front of my camera. I loved it as a carefully posed picture disintegrated while Dad tried to make it look more controlled than it was. Loved it.

Last Pose til September

June, July and August without a model....... sigh. But at least the last one was one I really enjoyed painting

I have little bits of inspiration

hung all over the studio. My visitors all know, if I like it I hang it up to stare at it for a while. Made a couple of these around Christmas time, it has been hanging there since then.

Closeup

Several people have wondered what this -- from my inspiration board -- is. My friend, printer Kathy Caraccio makes a Holiday card every year with a pinprick pattern and this one had gold foil behind it. Hard to photo, but really nice to look at...

Inspiration Board

Doesn't every artist/crafter have one? what does yours look like? If you post, leave me a comment with a link, I want to be sure to see what everyone else's board looks like!

June is bride month

and this was one of my favorite brides, Ann was my roommate for several happy years, many years ago. It is a blended photocollage, I love all the heads and Don and his brother hanging pictures in their wedding suits so that the house would look perfect...
