Boomers / POE

This is my first guest feature on our BBest Blog and I’m so excited to share with you some beautiful work from another team I belong to. I’d like to introduce you to some wonderful and talented artists from the POE team (Photographers on Etsy). I thought it might be interesting to look at different Sunrises and Sunsets and see different interpretations. Being a photographer I love looking at other photographers works and see their perspective. Drama is a good word to describe the sky in a lot of these photographs I’ve chosen.

The first photograph I will show is my own. I belong to a local Camera Club and we got together for a dawn shoot of the City of Boston. We got there a little late but I was able to get the early morning sun bouncing off a few of the buildings.

Digital artist John Holechek enhances his original photographs to create unique views of the world with his “Free Spirit”. Do we know if this is a sunrise or a sunset, all I see is beauty. I find this a serene masterpiece. You can find more masterpieces when you visit Batfineart’s shop

I was captured by this next photograph because of the children. I’m drawn to photographs of children because of the innocence they portray. When I was reading the description of this photograph it reminded me of what a photographer will go through when trying to get a shot.

“Photographer's Thoughts: Oh what a beautiful scene capturing these children playing in this typical Florida sunset, but at what a price. To get a shot of children and of a sunset one has to patiently wait a rather long time. Well! As I waited, the infamous Florida “No See ‘Ems” had a field day on me. I had about 30 to 40 bits from the near invisible critters that lasted for over a week. You know what? It was worth it wasn’t it. I love children and I love sunsets. A small price to pay.”

This made me laugh……one needs patience and bug spray. Please visit Finfera and see his other amazing shots.

I love flowers and sunsets and this next photograph by eringarrisondesigns is titled Sunset Wishes. The colors are so striking and smooth that it just brings you right into the photograph. Don’t forget to take a look at her shop for her other creations.

This next photograph named “Brand New Day” captivated my attention with the morning sun rays coming thru the trees. I’ve tried over and over again to capture those moments but once again patience comes into the picture, no pun intended. This is also a TTV (Through The Viewfinder) which is a process I love too. Please visit Buckscountyframes to see more amazing photography.

Its always nice to find local talent. My last photograph is a local gal Knight27. Of course I was attracted to this photograph for the sunset sky and of course the Lighthouse. This photograph was taken in Nantucket at Brant Point. I find this photograph amazing.

These are just a few of the talented photographers on Etsy. Next time your in need of a photograph don’t forget to use POE in your search.

Sunshine!

We are now getting to the time of year when we have had enough of being snug inside looking out on snow drifts, grey skies and generally miserable winter weather.  Every glimpse of sunshine heralds a new gasp of joy!  The weather promises, though it does tease sometimes, to get brighter and warmer.  So what better way to celebrate and encourage the spring sunshine but by showing off items from some of our talented members?  Put on the shades and be prepared to be hot, hot, hot!!!

This will get you in the right mood!  A cheerful quilted fabric postcard called ‘You are my sunshine’ – remember the song?

Thanks to Attack of the Vintage you will find many more wonderful examples of her quilted postcards in her shop.

 

It’s hot out here!

This piece is done in the paper prayer format. The paper prayer was created by the Japanese to evoke health and well-being for the person for whom it was made.

Van Fleet Street Design is the place to find more ‘hot’ items

 

Orange Flower Folding Hat

Sometimes the sun, even at this time of year, will cause you to look for a little shade and what a pretty hat to do that with!  Look, it even comes with its very own zipper purse for storage.

One Dog Talking is the shop to visit if you like style and elegance.

 

Too sexy for the Beach

Now start singing… "I'm Too Sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my..." I won’t go on!  However, a girl still needs to look her best at the beach!

Laughing Otter Jewelry just knows what jewellery you ‘otter’ be wearing!!!!

 

Sunrise, Sunset print that really could be either time of day. Imagine sitting quietly slurping, sorry sipping a cocktail watching this sun slowly dipping into the sea.

Beth Peardon Prods has a great array of prints, cards etc in her shop.

 

Sunbird – you can tell the artist was really enjoying herself in the creation of this wonderful mixed media painting!

Sixsisters has an exciting way of depicting everyday subjects and yet making them so individual.  She shows a great empathy with nature in the portrayal of her art.

 

A large smiling sun window cling suncatcher

The sun is always smiling on the righteous they tell me.  However, who could resist this wonderful cling looking like real stained glass?

Clinging Images has a shop full of window clings of every shape and size. 

 

I could go on for ever on this happy sunny note but why don’t you search yourself and see what you can find amongst this incredibly talented group of artists on Etsy who call themselves the BBEST!
