Painting away, I find myself reaching for the values of the colours, instead of the hue. Im thinking of them as shades of black and white. This is happening because of my focus on contrast and depth in my work.
Colours sometimes feel like they are disappearing....I need new ones but there aren't any left. Red seems like the same as orange, and green is blue. To deal with this, I use groups of colours to act as one. A number of combination's as one colour.

Saskatoon

This is pretty much all there was to click at on the bus to Saskatoon.  I basically sat at the window with my finger on the camera and snapped every time anything came along.  My facebook has a few more, but these shots I felt were more research geared. I love the dark brown with the blue, quite the color combination for bedrooms from about five years ago. The blurry one reminds me of  Gerhard Richter, kinda....I was told I take photos like how I paint, but I'm not sure what that means yet. I'm no longer in control of the shapes, they are in the driver seat when you are using a camera.  I just try to cast a net over them.

Outside

On the hunt for neutrals - I know they have been there all along, but it might be time to steel the change out of their pockets to see what they are worth. The country turns into a great source of them in the winter months; it gets harder and harder for me to see the beauty in the shadows. Maybe this is part of why I have avoided them in the past.  I find that I'm most affected by this land of neutrals while driving...the yellow yield and red stop signs provide the few moments of content on my drives to the city although last year was much worse.
I snapped some really nice grays out of the stones from the drive way, and there was some sort of lime yellow fungus growing on some bark that made my day.
