                   Heart Shapes in Nature, ongoing photographic series

Heart Shapes in Nature is an ongoing photographic series available as 12 and 18 month calendars.

Falsehoods, hatred, and destruction will never win over love and creativity. Gandhi said (paraphrase) there will always be tyrants, but hatred is temporary. Love is infinite.

Wishing  good-natured spirits to all, and happy holy days no matter what your faith!

True Colors - Mexico, a photographic series

  True Colors - Mexico, a photographic series

The red bench in this photograph is one of many on a newly built walkway along the shoreline of Lake Chapala, in the small, charming town of San Crystobal.

The True Colors photographic series is a creative tribute to the colorful landscapes, culture and style of south-central Mexico. One hundred of my favorite photos out of the thousand-plus taken have been selected for the website, developed separately from the main website to highlight the project as one complete and independent Art endeavor. Using the Paint Shop Pro computer program I’ve isolated a main portion of each shot, then superimposed this colored image on top of a black and white version of the same photo. Altering the photos this way has a powerful effect on our impression of the subject matter. In some cases the true colors intensify so much against the grey tones the scene becomes surreal. The website groups this photgraphy into themes and can be viewed at http://www.trucolors.info

Credit and many thanks to my husband for encouraging and co-creating this, and all websites associated with my Artwork.
