different perspectives

I snapped this photo watching “Better Call Saul” the other night.  Our beloved cat, Ms. Karen Lillibridge Govoni is hanging with my husband, Jeff.  When I looked at all of the textures in this image it looked like a renaissance portrait to me.

    

I liked how it was so layered—Karen’s paw hanging, Jeff’s stripey socks, my crow painting, the $10/10-year-old blanket from the airport in Vegas, the industrial lamp and the stack of books (Willa Cather’s My Antonia is the white jacket in the middle).  I took this on my iphone 5S. My family has new iphones and I don’t.  I’m not too bitter about giving up my upgrade, that’s what Moms do, right?  I think I only have to wait until 2019.

When I started playing with this photo in Adobe illustrator I wished that I could shift perspectives on how I see things in the world as easily as I can manipulate them by using design software.

Here’s to new perspectives, folks. 

However you can manifest them in your world.

This is the original shot.

seek different ways…

I have been cleaning my studio and sorting my work and I took a new look at this piece. I call it “Unknown Flora”, but I think it most closely resembles Queen Anne’s Lace. I am so interested in the way things look from another point of view…upside down, another perspective, in repetition etc.

This applies to both how we communicate and how we see things. I get stuck in the same thinking patterns and need to change it up or I get intellectually/emotionally bored (and this thinking type of thinking is exhausting). When we seek different ways of seeing we are opening ourselves up for a shift, a possibility or some grace…depending on what your life needs at the time. So, today turn (whatever needs a shift) upside down, or sideways and see what happens.
