Dear Photograph

'Dear Photograph' is a really clever concept where anyone can take a picture from the past in the present. All photos can then be submitted to the blog and hopefully uploaded.http://dearphotograph.com/

Dear Photograph,
Only one person can fill these shoes.

There’s a reason we had to paint these stairs blue. They just weren’t as colorful without these two.

Hepzibah Swinford

Sorry for the quiet week..I have been in Cornwall with no internet access...I have a fantastic artist for you today though, Hepzibah Swinford, a self-taught painter born in 1956. She grew up in London, St Ives and rural Scotland, surrounded by beautiful rose gardens, oriental art, and works by her artist mother, Dora Holzhandler. Hepzibah's stunning flower paintings can be seen below. http://www.r-h-g.co.uk/artists/view/orange_flowers/18,72,5402.html

Angie Lewin

Printmaker Angie Lewin is just fantastic. She produces limited edition lino cuts, wood engravings, lithographs and screenprints. As you can see by the amount of images I have put up, I am a little bit obsessed with her work! http://www.angielewin.co.uk/gallery.htm

Lanterns

I watched Disney's 'Tangled' yesterday, and I thought it was brilliant. I especially liked the lantern scene, images of which you can see below. I also googled a few other sky lanterns and floating lanterns, and I think they are just magical.
