Ponte Sulla Baia.jpg

Sometimes it is okay to alter a painting

June 25, 2018

Ponte Sulla Baia was originally painted with a black bridge that connected the two bodies of land to the two bodies of water.  The perspective is a view as if you were flying over in a plane looking down at the roof tops and water.  I didn't like the way the original  abstract bridge looked so I altered it with the pink and shifted some of the colors of the rooftops.  I noticed in the original blog the painting appeared to have a blue tint to it.  In actuality it is the green you see.

My Stories...

I began journaling when I began traveling. As a social worker in the world of child abuse and neglect, I sought out refuge in photography and peace within the walls of the darkroom. Through my photography and paintings, I am also a storyteller.

I do not usually disclose who inspired the painting.  Why you ask? Every woman wants to think they are the inspiration behind the artist and in truth they are.

7 Second Impact

We have all heard about life altering situations.  Could it be Happenstance, Pre-Ordained, Destiny or Luck?  The four of them know no boundaries when it comes to love, life or even death.  How many seconds does it take for them to impact on us?
