Turn Over a New Leaf #AtoZChallenge

Mother Natures accomplishments get me every time. How simple but elegant is a leaf?

Hosta leaves as a center piece all by themselves. 

They come in so many colors & shapes.

So ephemeral you can see through them at times.

They are often part of graphic design. I plan to make a stencil working off this picture.

Leaves add wonderful texture to mono prints.

Lend themselves to compositions.

I was grabbed by this shadow walking down the street one day. 

A perfect vignette right there in front of me.

Do you take the time to notice the amazing compositions Mother nature comes up with? 

Photo Phun

Wanted to share some photos from the last few My Still Sunday class prompts. I'll be sorry when the 16 weeks is over. Hopefully I will continue to play with what I've learned.

                                                      This was "what's for Breakfast?"

 "Just Three"

"Tell a Story", the caption "He was an artist who knew how to fly". The nibs and metal Faber tin were my Dad's. These are old pictures of him as well.

These next few are the playing around with "Just Three". Only the middle one made my cut to go on Instagram

 But I'm liking this one.

 

 These last few are from a "just one thing" prompt. So many possibilities on staging all these prompts. I could spend a whole day, at least while the light holds, playing with vignettes.

                                         

I'm liking the fact that now I have a collection of backgrounds to use for when ever the mood strikes to create a composition.  Amazing what an old piece of black vinyl   from an upholstery project, or an old wooden box, or piece of lace or linen from the fabric stash can become.

Next up I'll be posting a collection of my current & older hand made Valentines.
