Summer skies (+update!)

Image
Autumn is approaching fast, the air is cooler, the sky is covered in clouds and the leaves are already starting to fall. I’ve been capturing summer’s blue skies with my camera around my neck throughout the holidays, a collection of summer’s shades of blue, orange and purple that I really wanted to share with you! I took those pictures throughout summer, when I felt like time was going too fast. Sometimes I think too much and taking those pictures allows me to feel better!! Here are some of them !! I still can't believe how fast summer has gone, I had the best holidays I've ever had. I have started school a week ago which makes me feel nervous because I barely don't have time to do what I enjoy doing, like painting or seing my friends... So I just wanted to sit down and write an update post of what happened this summer!! INSPIRATION// The first thing that I want to mention is that I found inspiration again,...

How to hold a paintbrush - when poetry meets photography

Image
    How to hold a paintbrush To the arms of the one that makes my manners Melt away With those thoughts That my demons are trying to reach With their fingertips And fading rage. Blazing above me, This invisible and incandescent stain in the sky; stands on my eyelids. Keeping me from thinking, He makes me forget. And I forget how to think. He brought me back to my needs. As I only remember how to hold a paint brush. -Cadmium red- There's something incredible about holding a paintbrush after a really long time. Love, Cadmium red (M) xx

Remember August

Image
The urge to make the most of what's left of summer and create to remember and remember to create. I don’t want it to be over but I’m glad it happened. August. Filled sketchbooks, the ocean, used paintbrushes, photographs, music, friends, homemade lemonade and brownies on the coffee table, getting lost while playing at tourists in our own town, rooms full of canvases, heat waves, ice creams and peaches. Tomorrow is the last day of August, a lot of pictures are rushing through my mind, a lot of moments I want to treasure. These are some snapshots of August... Chill evenings Seing my best friends Fruits fruits fruits!! Crafty afternoons with friends Feeling inspired Feeling refreshed Love, Cadmium red xx

BLURRY VISIONS

Image
It’s probably around 37°C and we’re outside, blurry visions of tired and sweaty bodies, lying under the sun, blurry visions of  a bright spot in the sky and melting silhouettes ... I need to remember this summer, I need to create something before I melt into a puddle and see my ideas floating away in front of me. Meet my best friend, she’s so good at photography, she’s incredibly intelligent and funny, plus she’s also really good at modelling!! I absolutely love to take pictures with her, whenever we see each other, we always have our little “photoshoot” sessions. I love her so much!! With these pictures, I tried to transmit the tiredness and laziness under the blazing sun, the way our body takes over our mind and does whatever it wants, carefree of whether it looks good or not. I also tried to capture the way our vision gets hazy when there's a heat wave. I needed to remember how good it felt to be in this state of self so I took those photographs, with my bes...
