As a painter, I am no stranger to getting wet. For years I’ve had acrylic splattered, dripped, sprayed and poured onto me. And sometimes I just stick my hands right into it. I am finding that photography is also keeping me damp. I live in Florida where it is humid and hot most of the year. Right now it is quite chilly at 35 degrees, but last week at Selby Gardens there was one place that was warm and quite drippy. They have a huge greenhouse there with the most beautiful and exotic plants you can image. My group of friends were awestruck as we walked around the lush interior. While we separated ourselves I found this small glassed off area that was all green inside except for one lone orchid. The condensation formed on the glass in front of it and it reminded me of a rainy day in the tropics….

No I am not drinking on the job. 😉 But I am playing with men’s neckties. I’ve always had a fascination with these fashionable little pieces of art ever since I was a girl. Let’s face it….for the most part men’s clothing is boring. Sure, if you live in Milan and are a part of the fashion scene, there will be a lot of variety and flair. But for the everyday man it is pants, shirt and a belt with very little color or pattern. The only real way to jazz it up is a tie. Ties are pretty. Gay or straight, it is one way that men can show some artsy beauty without being judged by society.
In this piece cumulatively titled “Tying One On” I am not only showcasing the beauty of men’s attire, but also showing a little humor.
“Friday Morning”………….straight and ready for work:
“Friday Night”……relaxing….having some fun!
“Saturday Morning”….oh my! What happened?…….so many stories here…..
