hugs

As I have said before, I am starting off this year with a gentle heart and hugs.

I am gathering images to inspire this sort of tenderness for my inspiration board. Recently, I read that one fit of anger can erase all the good deeds and it made perfect sense. A hug is like that. After a fight or a moment of rage, a hug can erase all the bad and can add so much good to one's day. Have you ever been hugged and felt that after that hug, everything was alright. A hug can inspire so much. A picture can too.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

A hug is too.

Give a hug.

What sort of message or words does a hug say to you?

When a request comes to me to illustrate a home, these are the sort of shots that I like to work from. Starting at the left, capture an image of the home. Notice how the trees in this image lead your eye directly to the home.

This one was taken standing straight in front. Straight-on!

Then stand to the right. One can see what sorts of things might block or add interest to the overall image. Go back to the top image and the property seems flat, right?

Funny how all three images can show different points of view.

As an artist, it is hard to work from one image, I usually need at least 3 points of view to gather and collect details to add to the finished artwork.

Tell me - which one of the above photos would make the best work of art?

We all have unique view points.

I will then come back later this week to share the final art.
