Most of these cushions/throw pillows are from photos I took in LA 2008, some combined with older patterns from my archives. They really express what living in Venice felt like to me creatively, it was a whole new world of colour and light and pattern. Memories of that sunlight and Ocean living really perked me up this week when we were mired under low grey cloud and cold fog for 8 days.
Somewhat bad timing because the front Cherry Blossom, Prunus Cerasifera 'Nigra', had opened during the previous week and was doing it's best to cheer up the view in the absence of sunshine (taken when things lightened up enough to actually get a photo)...

Today I finally got my fix of some much needed sunshine and Cherry Blossom in the garden. Hard to photograph though because the sun returned with it's near constant companion these days - strong wind! It's been so hard to photograph anything in the garden in the last 3 years because it is nearly always jiving around like 50's teenager...

I re-connected with someone I used to know online earlier this week, and it reminded me of how I often think of you and yet had fallen out of touch. So tonight I turned to google and lo and behold there you are- still blogging away. Great to read your updates- hope health and weather are treating you well x Camilla
Wow, Hi Camilla!! I often think of you too and a while back I tried to look in to see how your studies were going but I can't remember if your blog had changed or my laptop conked out - either way the moment was lost. Will catch up soon but for now I'm really needing my bed ;-) xx
Hi again Cally, just been thinking of you up there in the cold. I've not updated my blog for years- I keep promising myself that I will get back into it, but it's not really happening. I'm trying to make it into more of a website for my art, but that's involving a lot of behind the scenes thinking and not much action. I'm now working for the Uni down here in Cornwall, it's great being down here and getting to do lots of sea swimming- I came up to Scotland in July and swam in the North Sea up by Balintore, my friend was convinced there was a seal in with us but I didn't get to see it. I update my Facebook pretty often: http://facebook.com/camillastaceyartist
