TODAY'S
PHOTO -
2 clay "Beach Lady" sculptures on a
glass table with a reflected vase.
Yesterday, perhaps influenced by the lighting and
reflection queries in Picture to Ponder Issue 144,
I got caught up, in passing, with the light filtering
through the petals of a purple
alstromeria. I took several photos and then went
on to take pictures of the sculptures on the table.
The background, of the patio through the glass door
behind it, made the photo too confusing to present
it as today's feature. On the other hand I was intrigued
by the lighting on the tiny sculptures and the reflections
in the glass.
Remembering Renee Kleckner's comment in our audio
interview
(click arrow to listen) on how she loved being surprised
whenever she opens Picture to Ponder, I decided today's
photo would be an interesting attention-grabber given
it's so different.
So, I playfully present this to you with the wish
that you, too, have fun this weekend.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES
-
I created these two little clay sculptures almost
30 years ago when I was sitting on the beach as my
two sons were playing in the ocean. I had a bad cold
and was feeling terrible. To pass the time, I went
to the car and grabbed some clay that was in the trunk
for a sculpture course I was taking, and started doing
some "gesture drawings" in clay of some
women reclining on the beach.
Amazingly, once I got going I felt totally revitalized
with no after effects of the cold. Now I often experience
similar feelings after a walk where my camera and
I have gotten involved with unusual things that catch
my eye.
The trick for me is to remember the actions I can
take to revitalize myself when I am in a "low"
state. Do you know what those things are for you?
Pay attention this weekend
to what you are doing when you are feeling great.
Capture those memories so you can recall and take
similar actions when you want to be experiencing those
feelings again.
