With that many stunning photographs, I don't which is my favorite! Although I love the persimmons and the windy road in fall. What I like about your work is the visceral feel even in the still lifes. They have emotional pull. Happy 2011 to you, Char!
Now that I have my chin from off the floor, I want to tell you that these are amazing. Blew me away to see them all together at one time. I even looked for your etsy site to buy the 8th one down. You are so talented, Char.
i love all of those too.....how did you ever pick ? i'd be into 2012 before my photo list would be completed....call me indecisive when it comes to my photos.....or just to quick to pick something and be done.....ugghhh
you have to be brutal. that is the advantage of doing a 365 - you have to narrow it to one shot a day. then...i narrowed from the over 200 shots to monthly and then limited it to no more than 4 a month. I couldn't get it down to one a month.
oh what a beautiful collection of images -- seeing them all together really shows what a fabulous artist you are! and how sweet to see how your nieces have grown over the past year, too. :) wishing you much joy in the new year. xoxo
you are such a talent, char. i love those pink buds in march and that lotus....WOW. sending you wishes of love, laughter and abundance for 2011, friend.
Wow! These are all gorgeous, Charlane. The water droplet on the leaf is amazing...and I love the children's photos...and the line of glass bottles, etc., etc. All are very nice. :o)
Lovely photographs...those flowers from march are just breathtaking! I think November and the images of those orange trees and that road have got to be my favorite -- gorgeous! xoxo Olivia
Char, I don't how you were able to choose only one or two for each month...I would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite from these! They are all so beautiful, but the one that struck me the most was the curving road through the autumn leaves. That just speaks to my heart. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
SO many of your pics are my faves... Love the last one and the silhouetted construction workers...oh and the peacan cake with coffee...YUM! Hope 2011 treats you like the Queen you are! HUGS Char.x
