“Returning Home”
New Mixed Media Painting Collage
Colorful Palm Trees

2014
The beach days are almost over here in Florida. It comes with mixed feelings. There is the joy of cool crisp air and a chance to be outside on the trails. But the damp cold of the sea is a bit too much. I will miss it. Until I return home…

If you are lucky….you have that one person in your life that has stuck with you through thick and thin. No sin has been so great that it has not been forgiven. No hardship so horrible that the burden could not be shared. That special someone has a voice and heart that beckons a phone call at any hour. A hand that is always at the ready to steady you or just to say “I am here” and “I will stand by you”. For many it is Mom, but my Mother abandoned me emotionally and physically from a very early age. My Dad passed when I was 10 and though I have had friends come and go in my life, for the past nearly 12 years, I have had that special someone. Thank you Bill….my husband….my love….the one who is always by my side….
And we were side by side when this shot was taken….

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…..

When I take photographs, I like to either find a story or have the piece ask a question. Palm trees are everywhere in Florida and there is no great mystery to them. But this one was all alone and one of the tallest palms I have ever seen. High into the clouds….what is happening below? There could be lovers sitting and chatting. A dog could be asleep. A bike could be propped up against it’s trunk. It could be right on the ocean or in a parking lot. The vibrant blue sky reveals nothing. What story do you see?

I was recently helping someone on Houzz decorate their “coastal” living space when they asked me if I had anything with palm trees. I had to think about it, but was surprised to realize that out of all of the tropical pieces I have in my portfolio, not a one of them had palm trees. I live in the tropics and palm trees are everywhere, but somehow I have not featured them in my art. I’ve got beaches, sunsets over the water, tropical flowers, fish, crabs, boats, etc. Jimmy buffet wouldn’t be happy. So today I have listed my first piece of artwork featuring palm trees. The graceful beauties of the tropics…enjoy!
