I had a DREAM in B&W (No ORANGE!)

I have been reminded. Not so long ago, I had a dream in which I put some black and white photographs on a page for Anne- Marie. I spoke about it, in jest, to the only Anne-Marie I knew at the time. In jest because I rarely put photos on a page (at that time), because the AM I know and love dearly has no reason to receive black and white photos from me, and most of all because I live very much in colour. Life is not black and white for me, nor even shades of grey, but an endless rainbow. A big splash of ORANGE! I rarely even wear black!


These are the photos I offer in Black & White for Anne Marie at Na Da Farm's Sunday. They are of objects that calm me when the sea is rough. I have no idea if the lovely new Anne-Marie (at Na-Da Farm) to whom I am linking, will notice I have done this. But it is ... time...



From JJ, after the Great Fire


Khalil Gibran whom I first read at high school when I was 16, who annoyed the priest at my wedding and in whose words I still find solace.
The violin? Unfinished work - but not for long.

A word I LOVE


Du Vide Naît l'Enérgie, from my teacher Anne Sacramento

May your Sunday bring peace - and inspire...
Love

  2. Hey Ange
    I read the opening sentence and thought.. I can tell you who the AM is... and then read the rest and of course you know!!....

    Unfortunately I won't be able to do B&W Sunday this week..I have to work more today... but... you have done a wonderful job for both of us!

    Pop over and leave Anne-Marie a comment.. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to have another participant.. especially when this one keeps dropping the ball!!!

    Take care.. have fun
    xx Julie

  3. Mmm, what a yummy post. Even without color, they're so lovely. I especially love the violin pic and the one of "amour."

  4. Lovely photos. You may be surprised to learn that I wear black and grey all the time and we are now renovating our house in shades of white and grey. I love colour, in art, nature, food, clothes(my children's), music and laughter but I need simplicity elsewhere.

    My eldest son read passages from Gibran at Savannah's christening...

  5. Tammie, it's true!
    Deb - I love lots and lots of white everywhere (makes it easier to set off that splash of colour!) - it's the shades of grey and black I've always had problems with. Our house is an old farmhouse with lots of wood so I in fact add white and shades of 'ficelle' (no grey) to lighten it. I can paint grey furniture for anyone - but I can't have grey in my home. Strange - it has to be taupe, or linen, or ficelle, galet, but not grey!
    Leah! What a lovely surprise!!
    Julie I miss your posts! I look eagerly every day and then I think - 'hOpE she's at least out enjoying the Aussie sun! It's hard not to let work take you over!

  6. Lovely photos Ange - weirdly I am going through a phase for grey - I have painted our bedroom that colour (somehow it feels very French now).

  7. I too love grey, I love the way colours bleed into its sombreness as if the space draws them to fill it with gentle colour. Of course I love colourful food and bundles of indian silks, and an autumn landscape, and your Amour picture...your work is lovely.
    Enjoy those kiwis xxxxx

  9. I too am a lover of grey, as it is a mixture of two colours I adore - noir et blanc.

  10. The word AMOUR is off a table that I did up with here and there with words I loved... And as I read your comments, I am won over again by grey... but that blue grey of a rainy day sea. And grey is very French, Fabulously French ;-)

Can't think of a famous quote that says 'communication makes the world go round' so you 'll just have to get my clumsy way of putting it instead ;-) Your comments are precious. Thanks for dropping by!
