Sunset in Santa Barbara

Sometimes you just keep shooting and shooting pictures of a few moments in time and one picture is not enough to express the moment... this was one of those times.... I hope  you enjoy it.
These pictures were taken on a Leica D-Lux Camera

At the Door

Another moment in time captured by a dress... 

is she coming into the light and leaving a dreary past.... 

or is she just now seeing the light and running towards a brighter future?  

Has she found love?  Love of herself or love of another human being ? 

Whatever it is the dress is playing center stage again...  

 To all the people who view my blog I am thinking of combining this blog with Inspiration by Design  my other blog.  It is very difficult to keep 3 blogs going and still create artwork, which is what I love the most.  So combining them may be the best answer since Inspiration by Design is all the things that inspire me - including other wonderful artists. My goal with Inspiration by Design is to spotlight those who deserve exposure, talented people who are creating wonderful works of art in art, photography, products, books, cars, movies... whatever their creative outlet is ... and in turn they inspire all of us... so start visiting Inspiration by Design and if you are creative let me know and I will try to feature your work...Cheers, Diane

The Dress- wedding dress -party dress - how does it feel?

The dress seems to be the highlight of the event - be it the wedding or the first party dress.  It is always there from the time we are a little girl -- but it is not really the dress - it is the feelings that the dress evokes

 It was quite difficult to get the feel I wanted... and painted several times - which is very unlike me...

Santa Barbara Sunset- Palm Trees and Ocean, Oil Painting

Santa Barbara Sunset with the light of the sun coming thru the palm trees. Santa Barbara and Malibu are the only places on the California coast line that run east and west rather than North and South - therefore you have both a wonderful sunrise and an amazing sunset.

Love Blooms

Flowers are so dramatic and romantic.  This photo shows both the delicate balance between the dark and contrast of the light and the soft flower and the hard background... it make me feel lovely.

Ah Love #2

Blossoms from a plant are meant to be cherished for that is how a plant shows love --over the next few days I am going to concentrate on flowers...

Ah Love!

A flower is a plants expression of love.  I love photography because you can capture a moment of time that will never happen again.....
