A perfect day on the beach is either off exploring or wandering with my camera and coming across a boat tethered and resting in the cool damp sand for its captain to come back take it for yet another wave-tossed spin in the water. Excitement flutters through my soul exploring all the dings to the boat and imagining how they got there...what is the story behind this adventure? The sky depicts a slight breeze and the cool turquoise colors lend to the feeling of a pleasant day to wander a bit more. Then the thought, can I pull off a re-creation of this photo in cloth? So I take mental notes as to my surroundings to assist in the re-creation. A perfect end to a day at the beach is to stretch the exploration even further and pull off not just a new art quilt, but portray and share a feeling to the viewer that I experienced. Voila, Thank you for joining my day "Off Exploring" at the beach.
