I love a good light story in an old cathedral. #alphabetchallenge #weekEforEphemeral #cathedral #amiensfrance #stainedglass #lightstreams #ECK #eastcoastkin #photography #photograpHER #journalsauce

Photo from there inside of the Cathedral in Amiens, France. This features a large double for with a stained glass window on top. There are sun rays illuminating the air diagonally across the photo which come from an upper window.

Another one from yesterday’s #BerlinUSK meet-up. It was raining, so we went to the restaurant first. 😉 . . #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchbook #mixedmedia #berlin #wasp

A sketchbook with a drawing in a restaurant with dark grey walls and a yellow decoration framed by shelfs with bottles. Some people and the furniture were just drawn with a thin black pen with lots of white space.
The book is laying on an orange table.

Worked with one of my favorite mediums this week—assemblage! For me, it’s like an archeological dig, uncovering relics, piecing them together, creating something whole from wreckage & ruin… #art #assemblage #mixedmedia #sculpture #artoftheday #steampunk #collage

For #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark, the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. #EastCoastKin

This image shows four trees and a four strap wooden fence shot through the opening at the end of a long, dark tunnel of trees. It was taken from the end of the long alleyway of trees which show as a dark vignette around the opening through which the subject trees, which are illuminated in day light, can be seen.

Attention Alphabetters! This is your reminder that Mon 27 Jul is the start of Week D and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Dark.
