Amy Melious: January 2014
http://amymelious.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Photographing a Beautiful World. Monday, January 27, 2014. New Year’s greetings from the studio! This part of the world is cool and grey today. But the palette is. Vibrant and complex, and elegant lines etch a poem into the whole landscape. On still days like today, the scene is animated mostly by birds. And there are diamonds. They are strewn everywhere. A bead of rainwater held in place, temporarily, by two thorns reminded me. Of a gem in it's setting. The quiet winter months are perfect for processing.

Photographing a Beautiful World. Thursday, October 16, 2014. Carpe Diem Every Day: Fall. Those of us who live in regions with seasons know well. That poignant moment each autumn when we notice the first leaf twirl it's way to the ground. Even though we know to expect it, it is usually still met with shock and awe. Also, it's very motivating. That single messenger leaf comes bearing the loud and clear announcement that we are all crossing an important threshold. Also, with the arrival of colder temperatur...

Amy Melious: El Molino
http://amymelious.blogspot.com/2014/09/el-molino.html
Photographing a Beautiful World. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Here's a photo I took last year of El Molino. It's a renovated very old mill, surrounded by olive groves, about an hour up into the hills from the coastal town of Malaga. There is a beautiful courtyard in the center where meals are served, and a large patio and pool at the back. This is where the magic happens during Flavour of Spain art holidays! This quote happened to cross my path by email yesterday, in a newsletter I subscribe to. Becaus...

Photographing a Beautiful World. Thursday, August 8, 2013. Camera, Paintbrush, Pencil, Pen. Once I read a beautiful quote.I believe it comes from ancient China and goes something like, Hand, eye, heart, two won't do. Sometimes I think of that when I work because of my constant desire to keep my hands and my eyes and my heart in my pictures. I'm excited about the fact that the sister worlds of photography and painting and drawing will meet and play together, this fall in Spain! Tiny pouch of materials, in...
