For the Patterns challenge, I went back to photography and decided to photograph patterns in nature.
Were flowers an obvious choice? Whatever, I couldn’t help myself – it’s SPRING. I bought a bouquet at the grocery store and took closeups. Look at these beautiful patterns!!
And this one – it looks like a pattern of tiny yellow flowers within a flower!
Then I just started looking around for more patterns, and on what I call my “Happy Shelf” I saw a shell that I brought back from a Florida trip three years ago – a beautifully perfect spiral pattern.
As I’ve worked through these weekly challenges, I’m really starting to discover that while I do enjoy traditional art, photography really and truly is where my heart is. So…while I may continue to do other types of art on occasion (especially when Riley is with me!!) you will likely start to see more of them completed with photography. And maybe some more wire art because I really enjoyed that as well.
THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE IS ‘CANDID’
Yes I realize that sounds like it’s geared toward photography. No I didn’t choose it because I’m choosing to do more photos. I actually scheduled all of the weekly challenges on my calendar back in February. In any case, as always – you may interpret and execute the challenge any way and with any artistic medium you choose. Please use #ODTCreativeChallenge when sharing your creations online – I would love to see what you create! Next week I will share a photo of what I created along with the next creative prompt. I hope you will join me!
