The splash of colour makes the second from last especially appealing to me. Those files also make a great abstract. Is the picture you have in your home is a Van Gogh scene? The image struck me as Van Gogh-esque and then I noticed it was a photo of a picture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472687890949401982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-44566696114732135162013-01-22T22:44:42.980+01:002013-01-22T22:44:42.980+01:00Hi Sandra, I'm sorry I haven't been to vis...Hi Sandra, I'm sorry I haven't been to visit for a while -I seem to have fallen a wee bit behind!!!<br />Lovely shots - I especially love the one with the red brolly.

It's fun to see you kept playing, even when indoors with your warm up.

Glad you mentioned how you accomplished some of them. By far, my favorites are the last two. They are wonderful!!! And yes, the French and American Impressionist painters' works do come to mind. I have experimented a little with ICM and it is tricky. It seems our eyes strive to find something to focus upon, thus getting just the correct amount of focus to key into the reality of the scene is often paramount. Are you familiar with the work of the British photographer, Chris Friel? Love some of his ICM pieces.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151980017769709403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-64387620355223505252013-01-19T18:01:41.990+01:002013-01-19T18:01:41.990+01:00It is so fun, and it does look like it should be e...It is so fun, and it does look like it should be easy but there is a fine line isn't there? I've been practicing this for months and also find that the light of the day can play into it as well. I miss my Christmas tree and the lights, I had sooo much fun painting that with my lens! I love, and adore the last two, especially the one with the red umbrella - beautiful!Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-78851204935351438702013-01-19T17:32:43.511+01:002013-01-19T17:32:43.511+01:00Kudos for trying ICM.

I love your creativity in these shots and your determination to get out in the cold and snow! The beautiful rainbow of colors in the files cathces my eye! Love the motion of the trees in the "gale force." I also, love the umbrella shots. The spots of color brighten a winter's day!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-36717076994952998302013-01-19T13:15:34.314+01:002013-01-19T13:15:34.314+01:00Very special Sandra....i like the colored shots ve...Very special Sandra....i like the colored shots very much.<br /><br />Greetings from a cold Holland, JoopJoop Zandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387926065809859035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-10394918285800550072013-01-19T12:53:04.244+01:002013-01-19T12:53:04.244+01:00The one I like the most is the mother-of-pearlThe one I like the most is the mother-of-pearlEntre puntadas e hiloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421597649116011651noreply@blogger.com
