Sunshine Makes Me Happy

As I began to tidy up my sewing room today, I noticed the sun making patterns on the wall, so I just had to get out my camera and capture it for you. My old wicker desk was black for awhile but now it is back to its familiar crisp clean white which I love.


The rays of the sun are lighting up the lampshade... shining on the faces of my daffodils...


illuminating the titles on the books...





making delightful shadows on the wall... and more shadows... creating beautiful artwork on the desktop.... making the back of the chair glow... I just love how the sun does that. This one little corner of my studio is usually tidy because I don't use the desk too much, but I better get back to cleaning the rest of the room which looks like a tornado has hit it! When my studio is in order I always feel more creative. So off I go to clean.

    Thanks Rhondi. I think most people just don't notice light and shade unless they're artists. The reflection on the table top is beautiful.

    love, Angie, xx

    Thanks for pointing out the beauty I may have missed. I tend to look at the desk and accessories. I will need to be more in tune with light and shadows.

    Sunshine makes my heart sing. I love to see the rays doing all sorts of dancing. The Florida sun can be so incredible at times. Thanks for sharing your little corner of the world :-)

    Sunshine makes me happy too. I Love to see it on my kitchen table and filtering down through the trees along our drive, dappling the ground in sparkling gems. It's so very beautiful and does my heart real good.

    Oh Rhondi! I love this look. That little desk in front of the window has now inspired me to move my desk back in front of my window. Of course, my view is not as pretty as yours, but thank you so much for this inspiration. Your home must be just gorgeous. I love the pictures you share. The shadows from the sunlight are so nice. You got some really good shots!!

    Hi Rhondi,
    This post is magnificent. I love the lighting and how the shadows cast such deliberate impressions. Your photographs are a painter's dream.

    Yesterday my daughter had her graduation party. It was lovely. Now, I'll get busy creating a scrapbook of this special chapter.

    I hope you have a lovely weekend.

    I can identify with tornadoes in the studio. Mine looks like an F-5came through. The photos of your desk space are lovely. It looks like such a pleasant place. I'm so glad you posted pictures of your dining room. I've been trying to picture what mine would look like if I painted it red, with my blue and white collection. Now I know. It looks terrific!
