August Print of the Month (and an Inspired Image from me)
This image comes from Fieryeyed on Etsy, it's called Across the Lane
It inspires me because I love the soft quality of light and knowing that she took the polaroid in Tuscany, an area of Italy that I adore. And I was there just about a year ago, so it brings up many wonderful memories (most of which involve food—gelato please!).
I particularly love that I can completely visualize myself walking down that road, on my way to enjoy a meal at an outdoor table with food friends, fresh food (perhaps a plate of freshly made pasta), and lots of wine.
It makes me feel hopeful.
The 3 words it conjures up are relaxed, warmth, and summer.
I decided to do my August print pick (one of my New Year's goals was to buy a printed piece of art from an independent artist each month) as an Inspired Image today since it's been over a year since I did one. I'm always asking others to do this like it's the easiest thing in the world, but I found out that it's not—it's actually difficult to capture the quality of an image in words. But I really like the process of trying and sharing lovely images. I absolutely love Jenifer's photography and highly recommend her blog Nectar & Light. Have a great weekend everyone and thanks so much for being here with me!
