window light

I've been staring out the windows lately, the way the world looks through a distant mirror, and the way things look behind, or in front of glass.

I've been back at work for two weeks now, and i guess I miss being home.

And the shines and reflections of other worlds entices me.  

This is my daughter inside a shop window...

 

And inside the shop looking out.

 

Out from our living room.  The little table is where I keep some of my indoor plants.

 

 

 

 

An oval mirror reflects an earlier summer celebration.

 

And the glass doors of a cabinet house some of my books and draping scarfs.

 

And a new collage is finished for my Etsy shop.

The shell lifts up to the words:

When you long for the ocean, here is a shell.

 

Kitchen window light plays with stone and iron birds.

And another new encaustic painting sits on my desk.  

 

 

Here it is again, I don't think I am finished yet,  I want to add some metal accents.

 

And so my fall has begun, with schedules and time frames, rules and plans, and little smiling faces of my new second graders.  

And I will make the most of my moments of window gazing and the windows in my mind of another summer gone by.

I leave you with this quote on my tumblr blog.

Great pictures! I like your living room, the furniture looks great. But what I like the most are the displays. They look so steampunk, haha. Your technique in taking pictures behind glass is amazing, too.

I get a nostalgic feeling from this post...the reflections, the golden light, your shell piece.

beautiful

Your tumblr site is also so very rich, I haven't kept up with mine or looking at others for inspiration. Once the studio tour is over I will come mining for wonderful images.

Hello Roxanne,
What Angela said I ditto. Always there is a special deep rich golden light that shines through your posts! Really like your encaustic painting you have just completed! It reminds me of a waterfall.
Also, your reflective photographs are beautiful. Your daughter looks pretty and it's an especially interesting touch that your photo is about reflection and she is wearing reflecting sunglasses upon her head.

Thank you for your kind words yesterday, then mean much.

You have such a wonderful touch with your photos, Roxanne. The warmth of the colors and the composition are always exquisite. So much beauty, inside and out. Thank you for another glimpse into your world.

Here's a litle pat on your shoulder: I wish I was working again. I know you like being home, but if you had to be, maybe not.
Lovely reflections of your life.

...... and there's that exquisite clematis again.... It takes my breath away. Lovely glimpses through windows and glass. I'm picturing the little smiling faces of your second graders and am sure you must be their favoutite teacher.

I can see this is a time of reflection for you Roxanne, as it is for many of us. Thanks for sharing your beautiful images and a small piece of your world.
