Imagine this: Dried petals, gnarled bark, and the intricate veins on a leaf. Sounds pretty simple, right? But trust me, when you look closer at the details through a zoom lens, a whole new universe of beauty unravels before your eyes. It's like discovering hidden treasures in your own backyard!
In case you couldn’t tell, I have been taking lots of close-up photos lately of trees and flowers that are weathered from the long winter. Zooming in on them or cropping them in a fun funky way creates an abstract visual experience, revealing some very beautiful patterns, textures, and designs.
Just take a look at these photos snapped on my walk yesterday. Mother Nature has provided an abundance of creative direction. There are endless possibilities for future art making from these lovely organic compositions and color palettes.
What do you think? Are you inspired yet? Ready to turn to nature for more inspiration this week? Or are you thinking more outside the box and planning on finding treasures like this in the city, a museum, or a library? Remember, it’s all about perspective and seeing the world around you with a new lens.
During our Creative Burst Session, I will demonstrate how these photos can help generate compositions and color palettes for a new piece of art. 🌟 🎨 🌟 🎨
Come be creative with me by joining me LIVE on my Facebook or Instagram with other art makers this Thursday @ 7:00 pm EST.
