~~ Hello! Welcome to my art blog. Where I blog about art ( just a little redundancy there for you :) and maybe a few other things here and there. My name is Catherine :) I am the KrEative GatHerER! At least, I'd like to think so. I am for the most part, a self taught "Artist". My goal is to someday feel, at least, adequate enough for the tile of Artist! In the meantime, I love coffee , tea, wine ( yes in that order ) and to submerge myself in my Art! I do mean that literally. It can be quite messy at times. ~~

Baby Seal

I really enjoy our beach.  My husband and I were walking and came upon this baby seal.  We were so surprised to find that as we crawled closer to him.  He would do the same and continued ruddering himself closer to us.

Vinography!


Pull that cork!  Then in the glass it goes.  One of the many, many things that I would love to learn how to do. Make wine.

Something Comletely Different!

So I am beginning to broaden my horizons!  This is something completely different. I have not posted any Artistic Photography on here before.  There is definitely a passion inside of me to create my own artistic interpretations. For this photograph, I am in front of the camera. With the help of another Photographer I was able to create my own vision.  I created the makeup for this shot. Being able to find the right colors and contrasts that would narrate the story that I was looking to be told and to be able to  recreate the perception of my own imagination is something that I thoroughly take delight in!

I wanted to create a woman who is so drawn to the beauty and the truthfulness of nature, that she becomes one with her surroundings.  She connects to the beauty all around her.

Sunset on the Dock

Isn't it impressive how the coming of the night or the coming of a new day is so wonderfully announced?  Completely surrounding you and at the same time, so incredibly silent.

I took this shot early this morning.  It's so intriguing how each flower seems to tell you something different.  Some seem sad or reflective, while most are happy and euphoric!  At times, maybe even a little bit arrogant.  To me a daisy relays honesty and simplicity.

In Fields of Lavender



Today, I was able to explore a Lavender field.  A natural pleasure, with a thousand words etched on each Lavender petal.

Spider's Web

I really have a fear of spiders.  Somehow when I have a camera in my hand I am compelled to get closer then I ever would without one.  

A spider's web really is awe-inspiring.  It's hard to imagine that spiderweb silk is stronger then steel!  Even the best human technology can not compete with this little creature!  We sure have a lot to learn from nature!

This was an impressive encounter!  Not to mention, this made for a wonderful photo.  This boat came sailing in on our beach. 

Watching this sail boat almost brought me some ancient urge.  An urge to lose myself and find the sea!  Wondering where this little boat has sailed and how far?  Where will she sail next?  Sitting on the shore, this was a very potent scene to enjoy.

Good Morning! A picture does speak a thousand words.  So far,  it is going to be a beautiful day! 

 I woke up this morning and took a little walk and climbed down under the bridge down by our house.  There is no better way to start the day, then to take a little walk and enjoy all that is around.  Of course, you don't have to climb under a bridge like I did. 

Puget Sound is beautiful! This photograph is over looking Case Inlet.
