Friday’s Photo: Into The Light

Fun Friday photos today, a bit of play and diversion. Something different, something without colour!  I took away the colour, in order to see the flower more clearly.

The solid, velvet black background created a wonderful contrast to the white tipped petals uplifted towards the band of light streaming from my studio window.

Petals, into the Light

 

I’ve always found flowers to be quite soothing, both in colour and without.

Each flower has an individual character and beauty that perhaps at first glance, I might have overlooked.

 

 

But when I sit for a moment, and take a breath….

I can begin to really   Observe the Flower  in its every little aspect. And then,    two things happen:

  • I feel ‘Lighter’,   peace filled  and connected
  • and I feel like I have seen the flower for the first time

 

 

Knowing a subject well, being good friends, having a dialogue with it,   is the essential ingredient.

It is this,  that makes or breaks artwork – be it a photograph, sculpture, watercolor, oil painting, …. a song.

I need a connection, to the subject in order to make the artwork exciting and engaging for the audience.

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

      1. Thanks a lot, Debi for your kind words which I can only return. I appreciate your wonderful work and wish I had more time to read all things you write, but I have so many followers and have to look at so many posts that I lack time for being creative myself. We have snow with icy rain on it, which made me ride my bike like on eggshells, very slowly like slow-motion, but it wasn’t that cold anymore. Have a nice week-end, cheers Mitza
