Finding inspiration



 
 I found inspiration this week.  It came from a photo that I had snapped on a warm sunny day in January.
  I was attracted not only to the lights and darks but the texture.    It also appealed to me because of its abstract nature.
 
 
Thought it might be interesting to photo copy in black and white.    This helped me see the values.
Feeling adventurous I used india ink for the background or negative spaces.   Then experimented with a bag full of mixed media on hot press paper.  
It was fun to try something a bit different.   Also the subject matter was not my usual choice.
 
Sometimes looking down can lead to as much inspiration as looking up!
 
 
So glad you stopped by to visit.  May you have a wonderful day.
