texture tuesday::dark and moody

i blame pinterest.

IMG_2429-Edit_blog

i know…don’t say it.  

this dark and moody look isn’t really my go-to style, but it was fun to sort of push my creative boundaries a bit.  i’m sharing more of the story over at focusing on life if you’re interested.

whether it’s with my art or with my life, getting out of my comfort zone has never been easy.  but it’s always been worth it.

love, kelly

    It’s good to push sometimes. It adds a little spice. That’s how I feel about raising $$ and shaving my head for St. Bakdricks. I feel full of life right now… Doing something for someone else.

    I absolutely love this!!! I am glad you went outside your normal style and tried it. Pretty fantastic, I’d say.

    So lovely – I love how the little bit of light highlights the first rose, and the reflection off of the glass.

    Beautiful. But, I am a more bright and cheerful person. However, your rose is beautiful.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
