Sanctuary


021
Originally uploaded by Renee paints
I have been enjoying my yard and all the vegetation that I have planted and watered and coaxed over the years. My somewhat new addition is my little fountain. I grabbed my phone a few weeks back and headed outside to explore. I have this phone app thats lets me take photos that have an altered appearance, somewhat vintage-esque.
Being a visual artist, I am always intrigued by imagery with a different perspective. Often, these images find a home in one of my paintings. My fountain may appear in an upcoming painting, (minus my toes in the lower center of the picture). I am working on lots of new pieces this summer! The hard part will be narrowing down all the choices of inspiration.

Love you blog... and I love the toes in the picture, too. I follow a photographer's blog called, "Where I stand" and each picture is of her feet wherever she is. It's fascinating. You might enjoy it...
