Folk Art Cat Illustrations

                                                                   Always Playful
                                                                  
A pet cat or dog brings down blood pressure.
They bring amusement and love.
Cats are forever playful and fall down and roll over and start playing. 
We used to have a cat that raced around the house at midnight
so playful and noisy that you thought someone might be breaking in.
I think they are low maintenance.
The only hard thing about them is keeping them
away from the bird feeders.

Styling Collage Photography

It's not what you have

 it's how you arrange them.

It's not how expensive the items are

it's about texture and color.

That is pretty much the rules I use

when it comes to styling collage photography.

These are my two photographs from Instagram

I love how art is in everything around us.

Both of these photgraphs were taken with my iphone 4.

You have to love the iphone...easy to carry and usually

always with me wherever I'm at.

We were very, very fortunate that we didn't lose

our electricity during Hurricane Sandy.

There were a few flickers and I waited up a good

bit during the night waiting to light candles while

the wind roared outside.

I feel bad for all of the others who had extensive damage.

Schools were cancelled for two days and many

business offices were closed as well.

Candle Stick Vignette

A little corner of my kitchen. The super tall candle stick was black when I bought it. A mixture of grey with a hint of blue went over that. This is a rather neutral color now. Softer than black. It has elaborate carving on it. Large bamboo platter from Ikea.
