Hello to all my Blog Walk visitors!
This week is the Color Palette Blog Walk organised by Brandi of
Brandi Girl Blog. From Monday 28th February to Friday 4th March four blogs everyday will be posting their inspiring colour palettes created from their own photos.
Now, taking photos is
not one of my strong points, what I see with the naked eye doesn't come out of the camera. So I'm just going to share some photos from family holidays to the Flinders Rangers in SA and the Sunshine Coast in QLD.
But first...
My Inspiration
These paintings are by Australian Artist
Fredrick McCubbin. On the left is my favourite painting, titled "Lost", on the top right is "The Pioneers", middle right is "On the Wallaby Track" and finally, on the bottom "At Stringybark Creek". McCubbin and other artists were part of the
Heidelberg School, know as the beginning of Australian Impressionism. Many of his works were painted whilst camping in the Australian Bush.
The photo for this palette was taken in the bowl of
Wilpena Pound. The view of the gum trees reminds me of the painting "At Stringybark Creek" .
A stark white ring-barked forests
All tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon.
Green tangle of the brushes
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops
And ferns the crimson soil.
My final palette is just because I think I need to see some colour.
Thanks for taking the time to read this rather long post. I hope you'll take some time to visit the other participants of the Blog Walk
