I bought this big zinc basin a while ago. Yesterday it thawed out so I quickly emptied it before it deforms in the next freeze. The gas froze too. |
As we all seem to be, I am hugely affected by light. At the first peep or flicker of sunshine I start moving about the place with my camera recording any strong light and the way the light transforms everything. I live mostly in the verandah in winter and early mornings can be a bit difficult for me.The little wood stove pumps around some warmth quite quickly thankfully. Here I am looking through a piece of crystal glass with the lens at the garden.I might try a bit more of this using impromptu lenses. I'd love to do some of those photos using a vintage camera TTV that gives images a dirty lens and a border. |
This is the subject of my current painting. |
We have a table for the birds just by the verandah so I started sketching as the birds swoop in grab something quick and then disappear. I can't really do anything with great precision but it's fun.
I don't normally photograph rain. The Christmas lights are up in Luzy but it's still hard to be cheerful. |
Goosey waiting by the backdoor. |
I painted the kitchen cupboard doors last night to go with the verandah, I think maybe circus, gypsy or even Italian insired by the Romans and a bit French too. Not bad. |
I love seeing your place, Jane....your charming village & all the animals & flowers, the cozy interiors, & your sketches....love the cupboard door too! Happy New Year!
