Sometimes you find perfect photos right at your feet. I looked down on my walk with the camera, and what do I see but this amazing, almost abstract composition. No moving anything, no interference on my part.......just red and black and white and grey. What a fun image if I knew how to Photoshop........but I am a Luddite, remember? ;-)
These are not maple keys---in fact, I don't know the tree they were on, but I saw little wishbones, papery-thin, fragile, delicately swaying in the breeze. Thus, one big human hand inserted into the frame to hold the dainties still. I should have brought a few back to incorporate into art.......alas, nothing with me to carry them in.
In the "Truly Amazing" catagory, an old fallen tree, so covered with vines that the bark is almost obscured. A click on the photo will reveal wild grapes in abundance hanging about. Leaves and moss have settled between the vines, forming a textural delight. Again, I have walked past this daily........for years. It's nice for that artists eye to have returned!
A leathery Sycamore leaf, the cropped portion almost as large as my hand. The veining and detail is just beyond me. So beautiful, so precise. To paint or draw this accurately would drive a person mad.......there is so much, so very much, to see. I am reminded of the quote "God is in the details".
How true.
I hope you find them.......
Pax.
Pax.
