I've never been very consistent with journaling/blogging, but that doesn't mean I'm not into sharing.  I am a science type with an artsy side, and have always been crafty.  I inherited that from both parents, who were incredibly inventive and practical.  They had to be, having lived through war and want in their formative years. How I miss them.

 

A retired teacher, I now have time to pursue that creative side, without having to worry about prepping for class the next day.  Beyond yarn crafts, one-stroke painting, and drama, I'm now able to explore photography and more advanced painting.  I shoot what interests me...commonly landscapes and macro shots...flowers, birds, and things that speak to me. Truly, what they originally say doesn't always come across in the photo.  3D to 2D sometimes doesn't translate.  Some of those are being translated into paintings as I move beyond "decorative art" to "fine art?" (or at least colloquial art.)  I'll use this space in the cyber world to share some of the images and impressions that I love the best, and hope that they have something to say to others, even if it's not the same message I see.

 

Thanks for visiting.
