'Blu' 27x32 When I told someone I was talking to about this image they suggested that maybe they didn't really need to know how it came about... but I like to talk about it anyway, so here it is. One evening I made myself a juice..and those of you with juicers know that if you don't put that annoying little part in the pitcher you get a nice thick foam on your juice. I had my juice in a cobalt blue glass with a german beer name written on it and when I was done with it I set it on the table next to my chair. The lamplight shone through the foamy glass and what I saw in it made me grab the camera.My whole point to making these digital compositions is this.......the beauty in our lives exists in the mundane, everyday things, things we may pass by all the time and don't see, things we may even think are ugly, so we don't really see them. Beauty is everywhere, all we have to do is see it, to awaken to it and we can be transported by it.
