Venice

I’ve got the Summer blues.  I am not talking about the sad kind.  I am referring to the azure skies and blue aqua tint of the ocean waves of Florida.  There is also the deeper blue gray of rain in the distance that tends to come around 5:00 pm each day.  I am in Venice right now enjoying the salty air and cooler breezes that provide the only reprieve from the stifling heat.  This morning we went out and swam in the choppy swells.  The temperature was perfect and the sun was hidden behind the clouds for a few hours.  I would apologize for my frequent absences from my blog, marketing and work in general.  But I am far from sorry.  I’ve worked hard for this and can finally live the life I’ve always envisioned.  I am spending as much time as possible at the beach this year. It’s just heavenly…

The Surprise…

When I was a little girl, I was fascinated with photography.  I had my little Kodak Ektra camera and I would take quick snaps everywhere I went.  The most exciting part of the process was always going to the drug store to pick up the developed photographs.  Back then there was no one hour photo.  It took about 5 days and the anticipation would drive me crazy!  I would constantly ask my Mom if they were ready yet.  Then I would revel at the surprise shot.  The one that wasn’t anticipated.  A casual shot that turned out to be a “wow”.  Today it isn’t much different.  I still take snaps wherever I go whenever something catches my eye.  And then when I get home, the anticipation of downloading them on my computer is the same as when I was young.  The only difference is now I wait mere minutes instead of days.  Recently I had a beach getaway where I took over 300 shots and this was the “surprise”…the “wow” shot….

I am creating new original paintings for my upcoming show.  I do a lot more digital work these days, so it is a nice change to go back to more visceral creativity.  I am recreating some of my pieces from 9 years ago, but with a different twist.  Unfortunately the camera I had back then didn’t capture my work well enough for large prints.  But these can go as large as 48×60!  Now that is big and definitely “Standing Tall”!  Happy Sunday all…..

Yesterday was one of those amazing Florida days where I wished everyone I knew could be enjoying the fresh air, the sunshine and all of the beauty that was embracing me.  We took our new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phones out into the wilderness to see what the cameras could do.  I bought the phone for my business and that is what it is used for 90% of the time, but since we had heard so much about the photographic capacity of these new gadgets we gave them a whirl. There was no shortage of subject.  The cameras took some really nice pictures, but no where near that of our DSLR’s.  My favorite is the piece above titled “Solitude” as it expresses how I feel most of the time.  Working from a home studio without coworkers and/or employees leaves me with a lot of alone time.

But I had the most fun playing with the panorama setting.  This piece below turned out really cool and shows a true slice of Florida wilderness where man has intruded by building a bridge between the city world and the great outdoors:

Lastly, there were so many wildflowers blooming it was unreal.  Some of these beauties were taller than I was with large golden and yellow fronds reaching into the sky.  Really it was perfect and it turned out to be a lot less about the camera and a lot more about capturing the beauty…..

“Storm Flight” was one of the first paintings that I sold as a professional.  That was over 10 years ago.  I am delighted that I was able to revive it by digitally remastering the painting and then Stone Rock’ng it.  Stone Rock’d Art is one of my copyright protected signature patterns.  Yesterday I saw that someone found my blog by searching “Stone Rock’d Art How To Sharon Cummings”.  Try it and I will pursue legally anyone who steals my copyright protected patterns.  The patterns you see in this work are not computer generated.  They were hand drawn and then hand sewn digitally to form their unique appearance.  They are mine, but everyone can enjoy them here:

I recently had an opportunity to stay on the 10th floor at the Lido Key Resort in Sarasota, Florida.  The view was spectacular!  Each evening we liked to sit on the balcony and watch the sea and sky with our dinner.  One night it got really dark and the sky became an ominous blue gray.  The sea looked black and spooky.  Out of nowhere this lone bird came into view just as I was snapping a photo.  We went inside, but he had “No Fear”…

Walking along Lido Beach with my husband waiting for that last glimmer of light, I see some children playing in the surf.  Two little girls and one boy squealing with joy as the waves splashed at their backs.  Parents were chatting and pointing at the horizon.  This guy was a whir of activity with limbs going every which way and toys thrown about.  He payed no attention to people passing by.  Then for a split second….just a small moment, he stops and looks at the setting sun as if to say……not yet…I am still having fun.   I cannot believe I captured this….
