I see many similarities with a recent painting in the Reading a Garden exhibition called Web. I was hoping I would move away from obsessive detail. Hard to say but my attraction to these three images is immense.

Up close
Everyone has their own interests when taking photographs. I've never questioned what I am inspired to photograph or why I may be interested in a subject. I just shoot merrily and file images on the computer trusting that all will be revealed at a later date. Last night I was sorting shots from my last two trips. I wonder where these are leading me.

I can see why. Love those textures. I'm curious to see where that spark of inspiration will lead you.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the attraction too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and intricate textures! Go with what attracts you most. There's always a good reason.
ReplyDeleteThese are indeed inspirational shots Margaret. They are the reference that give your work so much interest, whether subdued or emphasized.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Margaret. I can see why you find them so intriguing... I can almost here the Siren song myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm especially intrigued by that shadow that falls across the top photo. I tried really hard to decide what caused it... a fence? ...a chair? ...the photographer?
Happy Creating!

ReplyDeleteHow astute you are. The shadow is me. I love to do that. It marks my presence in the shot.
There is a book that will explain, in part, your attraction/obsession with nature's patterns.
