Islamorada Highlights and Wahoo Revisited
Today, we woke up in a traveling mood. The day was just too beautiful spend it indoors. So, we got in the car and we drove to Wahoo Bar and Grill in Islamorada. Along the way, we took in the sights and sounds. When I say that we drove there, I mean that my mother drove there. She is always the one who drives the car. She gets tense when my brother drives the car. So, if we are all together in the same vehicle, she insists on driving. There was a bit of traffic in the middle of the...
Army Cutworm Moth and Gulf Fritillary Butterfly Watercolor Painting
You would never guess that I have a serious bug phobia. Even if you are afraid of little bugs, it doesn’t stop you from appreciating their visual aesthetic. I like butterflies and moths. I really do. I experience great joy when making these watercolor paintings. The problem is that butterflies do not respect my personal space. It is always such a bother when bugs land on you. So, my butterfly phobia is only tactile based. Now, I am going to talk about my paintings in specific. They are based on photographs I took of my garden. My garden is located...
Floral Florida Flowers Photography May Vibes
Today, I wanted to show you some of my flower photos. I take a dozen or so photos when the opportunity arises. It has been raining a lot. So, I haven’t been able to get out much. This weekend I stayed at home. I made a few watercolors, but that is a topic for another blog. Most of my floral photographs feature roses. Whenever my rose bushes produce a flower, I photograph it. They always look different. The differences can only be appreciated if you look at all the photographs together. If I visit someone else’s gardens, I also photograph...
Rococo BJD Doll Dress Dollmore Photoshoot
Today, I did a new bjd doll photoshoot. In this one, I only used one doll. The doll, the outfit and the wig were all made by dollmore. I just put it all together. That is the fun thing about bjd dolls. With just a wig and dress, the bjd doll looks completely different. The rococo dress is as big and cumbersome as it looks. The doll was extremely uncooperative. I did manage to get at least 30 decent photographs. The first few feature the doll with a green riding hood. The rest of the photos feature the doll without...
Springtime Fashion Outfits BJD Doll Ringdoll Photoshoot
I recently got a new wig for my ringdoll bjd. The wig was made by Dollmore. It was a nice curly, brown, red wig. It changes the color depending on the strength of the flash. I think she looks really cute with it. After brainstorming possible photoshoot ideas, I decided to do one based on Spring fashion. The dolly is wearing all the colors of spring. I know because I used a color chart for it. Sweet pastel colors invoke the spirit of spring. Of course, the color themes change overtime. I chose to go with...
