As you can see, I've still got trees on my mind . . .
There just seemed to be so much colour and texture concentrated in this one spot:
I've gone back to using our old camera, with which I find it much easier to take pix with a focal point and a blurred background. Here are a few things that just caught my eye:
This evening I had a chance to just sit and chat with DD13, and since it's sometimes easier to talk while your hands and eyes are occupied, we both set about using our sketch books -- she to look through old drawings, and I to try capturing a concept I'm repeatedly telling my children, and my husband reminded of me today.
I scanned this one instead of taking a picture of it, but it still turned out dingy, for which I apologize.
Any tips for my faces? They frustrate me! (But I'm not going to camp out on that frustration ;-)
Lovely photos! I love to get the details and close-ups in nature too... like little small delicate moments to freeze in time!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda:)
ReplyDeleteI like your art projects and the clay sculptures of the next post are really good! looking at your pictures made me wish I had time to do art each day (not that I think you sit around all day - I don't!). I suppose it's a choice. Maybe you have inspired me ... hmmm :)
ReplyDeleteI'm betting you play the piano pretty much every day, Alison, right? There's your art:) But you're right -- it's a choice. I FEEL like it's the last thing I SHOULD be doing because there's so much else I COULD be doing -- and yet it's becoming a necessity in life. There is something so theraputic about creativity in any form . . .
