a change of artistic scenery is due...
An old metal medicine cabinet displays vintage bottles and practice sketches...contorted oil paint tubes await their turn...a broken clock, reminiscent of a former time...capturing what once was...
The patterns and textures of nature are always intriguing...
a whorl of flower petals...
the striations in a leaf...
the delineations of a feather, the precision of a wasp nest...
Can we ever really capture the essence of this natural beauty...
these replications in print, paint or photography...only serve to remind us how wonderous nature is...
and that it is best to be experienced and explored...
joining the group over at kim klassen's texture tuesday...
all of my photos were edited with either kk texture magic0916 or kk texture everyday...sometimes both...
Such a splendid series. They make me happy and calm. I cannot pick a favorite. There is such beauty and richness to them.
