…I love texture in all kinds of things – art, nature, food
Thanks to Cee for hosting the Fun Foto Challenge
…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
Nancy’s photo of a broken down wall in the middle of nature reminded my of the lighthouse keeper’s old home on Christian Island. The lighthouse has been automated for years and the home is a pile of rubble where nature has take over. Trees are literally growing out of the centre of the stone cottage.






….day 114
It’s been way too long since I last posted some of my art. I finally completed an assignment given by Carla Sonheim last Friday. I had to go outside and collect items from nature and then bring them back and create a design using my found materials. Once that was done I used pencil to quickly draw the design and then oil pastels to add colour.
I quite enjoyed the process and am now ready to produce more daily art studies. I might even put some paint on the canvas that has been sitting on my drawing table for a couple of weeks now.
….this week’s theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge is Ornate
Since man gets most of his design ideas from nature, I decided to look to nature to capture the delicate and intricate patterns found in the plant world for this week’s theme.

….thank you Elizabeth for encouraging me to participate in this challenge
Through my photography I have discovered beauty in every season.
“Many people find November dark and depressing as gardens are put to bed and plants wither and begin to decay. I see interesting shapes and colours and the seeds that will bring new life in the spring.” – Carol Cormier 2015
“If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”
– Vincent Van Gogh
Elizabeth from Tea and Paper invited me to join in this challenge. I was hesitant to do so because I’m not into quotes but I’ve always enjoyed reading other people’s thoughts. I truly believe in the beauty of nature so Van Gogh’s quote was perfect for me and I’ve finally expressed how I feel about the decline of the plant kingdom in November in my own quote.
The rules are for this challenge are as follows:
• Thank the blogger who nominated you
