A few days ago, very early in the morning, we had the first snowfall of the season. It was light, and lovely, and everything a first snowfall should be. The toddler, baby, and I all threw coats on over our pajamas and ran out to get some photos.

Around the house
I almost forgot about these. I took them a while ago-before the basil plant died. We kill everything green in this house.

Drawing Lessons
One of the benefits of my new job teaching art lessons is that I’m forced to remember everything I’ve learned…and demonstrate. I have been teaching some lessons on color; specifically using complementary colors to darken and lighten. We were working from life, and trying to see ALL the colors-not just the ones that are readily apparent. I am kind of excited about the sketches:
And yes, that is a dead bug that on my pepper picture. I could have cropped it out…but I like to think it adds character.

Happy Halloween!

It is…
Poppyseed dressing. Or it will be again when shaken.

From all angles
I am discovering that photography is very specific. The difference between a shot that works and a shot that doesn’t can be a matter of millimeters. A small shift of the camera or a small twist of the lens and everything changes. These four shots were all taken of the same 3-4 centimeters of space-and yet they seem so different to me. I’ve written before about how point of view can change things. But I’m still surprised.
I’m also delighted by the colors. I have no idea how that happened. Something in the web? Something to do with the camera lens?

It is…
Yellow Beets! I know, definitely cheating. Who knew there were yellow beets? Not me, until the farmer’s market a couple weeks ago. Beautiful and delicious.
