Focus on Life: Week 34 ~ Add something

Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime is hosting a year long challenge which is... sublime... as you'd expect with such a studio name. The challenge is named 'Focusing on Life' and every week Sally is sending a prompt on what should we focus the following week.

This week we are to take a picture and... 'add something' to it. As in - explore our editing applications and play with them :)

Play I can do any day! What picture to choose now?!

That wasn't very hard - this week I've discovered the 'Music in the park' series at Royal Botanical Garden... yes, almost at the end of the summer... but it's better late than never, isn't it? The music is on Wednesdays evenings and it is jazz / blues.

What can be better than listening to music while admiring the blooming gardens, royally attended and cared for? It's listening to music in a fragrant park (the roses are still in bloom) while going through an exhibition! Every year it seems our RBG hosts the Zumbasculpt, an exhibition of Zimbabwe traditional sculpture: mostly cut in soapstone, in incredible Brancusi-like curves.

 Since I'd love to learn to draw properly I thought this 'add-on' will work best: sketch (from Picasa).

Thank you for visiting, I hope you could imagine the lush vegetation and the soft sounds of jazz while we walked through the exhibition.

For more successful manipulations of favourite pictures - please make sure you visit everybody else, we're gathered right here:


P.S. If you'd like to know why I said the sculptures are Brancusi-like, please come back next week, I will post more pictures of the sculptures and you'll understand better :)
