Hopefully, by now, everyone realizes how much I enjoy gardening and flowers. I truly believe that "THE EARTH LAUGHS IN FLOWERS".
Today I decided to photo a little spot in my house where I not only have put some of my roses in a sweet little vase; but I have also been brave enough to put one of my paintings in the vignette.
I'm really a beginning artist, but I find if I display one of my pieces of art occasionally it does encourage me to draw and paint more. Does the same happen with you?
One of these photos was taken with the flash on, and one with it off. You can certainly tell the difference. That is another thing I am trying to get the hang of, photography.
I know with enough practice with my art and my photography I will get better.
You know, creativity does kind of resemble life, the more you do it the more you improve!!!! Wouldn't you agree??
Have a blessed day dear friends,
Jo
Every time I come to visit you at your blog it is prettier and prettier! You photography is just lovely and I am loving all the gorgeous flowers.
ReplyDeleteI too am still experimenting with taking pictures in certain lights-it really makes a difference doesn't it!
Best wishes for a happy (gardening?) weekend,
Natasha.
Awww Jo, your painting is so pretty! Wow, get rid of the doubt about that. And all your photo's are so beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to get a few blogs visits in before I go back to packing things up. Life is a little crazy right now...
But I'll be back as much as I can till I get settled in.
Keep painting and clicking (o:

ciao bella
creative carmelina was here!
Oh Jo, I know exactly what you mean about taking pictures!!!! I just recently found out how to use the device to TURN OFF the flash! I am not the best photographer, so I really depend on finding good pictures off the web..when I first starting blogging, I used to take pictures of my home, which is very beautiful, but the photos do not do it justice!!! I aim to learn however, like you! Thank you for your dear visits and wishes for my birthday! Many happy days to you dear Jo, Anita

ReplyDeleteIt's fun to visit now since this morning!
Great vignette!
Jo,
ReplyDeleteYour Painting is Beautiful ~ Is that Oils or Watercolor, can't tell..... I am in the same boat with you about Photography, I try all different settings & some turn out Good & some Not so Good, problem is I never Remember Which Settings I Used!
I am Very Excited about Reaching 100 on My Followers, I did alittle Jig ~ Mondays Give~Away Post, Will Be the 100th Post ~
I still am alittle sad that I had totally Lost my previous Blog last fall, Never got any help from Blogger, it would have celebrated 3 years in Feb ~ but No Sense Crying over Spilled Milk, Glad I started All Over ~ So Celebration Commences on Monday ~ See Ya There.....
Have a Blessed Sunday

Bonjour Jo,
ReplyDeleteYour painting is beautiful! Please show us more. I dabble too and get a little shy about letting people see my feeble attempts. But yous is lovely, and your photos too.
Wishing you a great week,
