Hi there.
Sorry I went MIA on you, but I've had quite a bit going on these past several weeks.
I had to finish up a furniture painting job (photos to come soon), my husband went back to school (he's a teacher), and a few weeks back I unexpectedly lost my 40 year-old cousin. We were good friends as teens, and even though we had lost touch many years ago, I'm going to miss him. And him being only a year older than me has really got me thinking about what's truly important in life and to not let it slip by mindlessly.
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
--E. B. White
Just found this quote and I love it. It makes me smile.
Ok, moving on.
Here are some shadow shots that we're taken at my client's gorgeous home (the one I painted the furniture for). I love the scroll shadow within the palm shadow. Can you see it (above)? It was caused by the ironwork on the balcony shown below. A shadow within a shadow. How cool is that?
To join in Shadow Shot Sunday drop by Hey Harriet's and tell her "Hi" from me.
And speaking of painted furniture, here's a lil' peek at what I painted on the front of an armoire. I'll show you more this week. See you then.

Great shadow shots, and i do like the shadow within a shadow thing that's going on, but I love the artwork you painted even more. That is beautiful work. I could ust imagine firniture painted with this theme and colors, matches the palm tree setting. Very nice. Welcome back.

Palm frond shadows are as peaceful as the fronds themselves.
BITS OF SHADOW
Bits of shadow and blasts of light,
Morning and evening, noon and night;
Days of darkness, gloomy and drear;
Sometimes bright ones, bringing good cheer;
Spring or winter, summer or fall,
Light or shadow—embrace them all!

Love your painting and your shadow photos. So sorry for your loss.
It is so sad when we lose someone who has been or is a part of our life. I am so sorry you are sad.
Your shadow shots are gorgeous - all that sunshine! Our sunshine seems to like hiding behind clouds recently :)
