Pamela Schmieder ~ French Kiss Textures ... ~






I miss you, worried, slow, do not have time, hurry up, I understand, confusing, find answers, and forget them again in a circle ... My thoughts are random and confused ... Patience, I say to myself, patience is necessary to put the words together in a manuscript and moments in life ... Wisdom, I remember, to understand that everything that happened to us, everything that happens and everything that does not happen - it is part of one of history ... The happiness I sigh, can not always be learn at first sight ... But the misfortune itself ... you find ... And again, I hesitate, hurry, I understand confusing, find answers, and lose them again in a circle ...

"- And what is this living life to - you? (He seems angry.)

- And I do not know the prince; I only know that it must be something terribly simple, very ordinary and catches the eye, every day and every minute, and is so simple that we can not believe it, what would it were so simple, and, of course, we pass by now many thousands of years without noticing and learning ... "

When I saw these pictures for the first time, I thought it was illustrations, drawings talented artist. Nostalgic charm and quiet noble beauty, attract the eye and fascinate. And suddenly it turns out that this is not an unknown artist paintings, and photographs. Artistic photos Pamela Schmieder, a woman who never ever studied photography, but which is subject seems to convey with the camera millions of shades of feelings and emotions, not even animate objects.







Poor pictures, nothing will help, but other than by means of cunning manipulation in photoshop can be achieved simply stunning results. The highlight of her artistic photographs - the use of textures that add a unique frame vintage effect ...

Pamela Schmieder 30 years was a teacher in elementary school ... After retiring on a pension, it is all his free time to his favorite hobby ... She is married and has two sons ... Has a dog that sometimes serves as a "model" ...: - )







Schmieder about yourself:

 Photographing - this is my way of documenting everything that happens in my life. I strive to capture all the things that are important to me. It's a rare day when I did not photograph the bird, flower, barn, or just something that catches your eye. I especially love to shoot rural landscapes. Lately I have been working with textures. I've always loved folk art, because it evokes a feeling of simplicity and nostalgia. I believe that careful use of textures can inspire some of these qualities in art photography ...





Like many parents, I started shooting with the birth of my children ... I spent a lot of rolls of film to achieve a good quality photos ... With the advent of digital photography, I started taking pictures of students, the nature, the appearance of butterflies from eggs larvae. And soon, through the internet has become to share photos with other classrooms around the city and around the world. I had no special education. At that time it was just a strong desire to capture a moment ...







 Children's literature has always been a source of inspiration ... my inspiration comes from nature every day. I admire the skill of illustrators as Tomie DePaola and Chris Van Allsburg. And, of course, lately I have found many creative and talented photographers on Flickr. This is a community where users can share my passion and learn from each other ...





I also get inspiration from nature every day .... I love the sequence of the seasons, the changes of the sky, a variety of plants and animals ... My camera is always at hand and never leave home without it. I like to shoot everything and dilapidated barn, old school, birds visiting my yard, new flower, the other in unusual places ... I love to photograph all the old, especially things with peeling paint ...



I prefer natural light. Avoid using the flash. I love to take pictures under a gray sky during and after a gentle tropical rain. I usually do not think about processing photos ... very important for me to photograph ... And here is how to handle it yanachinayu think after seeing what it looks like the image on the computer screen ... For processing using Photoshop Elements .. .

From an interview with the artist ...

P.S.
But in fact:
"We live to discover beauty.
Everything else - a kind of expectations. "

"I always wanted to write only in watercolor, but I have tried a lot of other materials during the study. I have always admired watercolors Anders Zorn. I watched and studied his art in books, museums and exhibitions."



Clayderman Richard - I Will Always Love You


"When I was painting in Russia, my teacher was a fine painter Leonid Krivitsky. He wrote butter and wanted me to do the same. But I prefer watercolor. My graduate work was a series of five watercolors with views of St. Petersburg, the city where I was born . Each watercolor represents the city through the eyes of one of the famous Russian writers: Block Petersburg, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Akhmatova Bergolts. "





Call your parents

So often lost in the cycle,
Residents of large cities fussy -
We remember the plans, friends and work
Forgetting for a moment, as we love to parents ...

Having spent itself on the partners and meetings
The congestion at rush hour, stupid drivers,
Throwing gown on tired shoulders,
Forget sleep ... No bells parents.

But in the morning - at the start: there will be a new race,
Everyone has his own role, comedy, audience ...
And yet, having forgiven child a priori,
With hope at the window waiting for the parents.

And life is constantly committed to the finals ...
And, to a sense of the winner,
Call, write, hurry to the top -
In the house where heat will warm you parents!

"I get inspiration mainly in nature, in the colors of the seasons in the northern light and shadows. Most of all I like to write something as reality changes reflected in the water. I love writing in March, when the snow melts. I do it and now, but not too often. I now have a much better shape memory due to long scenic experience. "



"I choose the best sketches, written in the open air, and write with the help of their great work in his studio. In the open air I write what I see. In the studio, I write what I want to see. I am sometimes asked: how long it takes to write a great job ? Should we also find here the time spent not traveling in search of objects and inspiration? Work on the sketches? Unsuccessful Work? Reflections and disputes? I can only say that the creation of works of art occupies the entire life of the artist. Sometimes the work on a large watercolor can take a month . "



"The idea to open a Center watercolor" Akvarellcenter "came to me and my husband Felix Ginzburg for selfish reasons - to create art world, where everything is in line with our wishes - exhibitions, artists choice, the choice of their excellent work that we can enjoy while they hang in our gallery. This idea also liked the art lovers in Sweden. "



"The recipe of popularity for any artist - is, first of all, a good painting, which can occur if you do not think about the popularity and money when you write."




How do I close and clear
This world - green, blue,
World of the living transparent stains
And elastic, flexible lines.

Shook the world is covered in mist.
Clear the air fresh and clean.
On large trunks of chestnut trees
Flared pale sheet.

The sky all day is blinking
(Prysnet rain, falls upon the ray)
Develops and recoiling
His cover of bluish clouds.

And through the smoky slots
Tarnished window
Writes pale watercolors
This pale spring.
