Art Through the Camera Lens
…. an on-line assignment that involves taking photos that are not focused
In my Summer Camp art course I’ve painted with watercolour and acrylic, created drawings using oil pastels and pencil, sculpted with wire and made birds from scraps of paper. In today’s assignment I had to take my camera and walk about the neighbourhood and look for things I wouldn’t normally photograph and then snap them out of focus. The idea is to create interesting lines and shapes without recognizing what the object is.
Here is a gallery of some of my shots.
If you’d like more information about the on-line courses that I’ve taken with Carla Sonheim check out her blog here.

Sunday Trees – 141 & 142
….I missed last week because I was at the cottage so I’ve posted two trees this week
This is a willow tree. I want to say that it’s a weeping willow but it doesn’t weep as much as some others that I’ve seen.
Trees that once were and no longer stand tall but now lie on the beach as driftwood.
