Drawing Inspiration from Patterns
“Life forms illogical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?”
—Margot Fonteyn
“We artists have been affected by patterns in nature since day one. Every line we lay to paper and every move we make is part of the magical sequence—and the line goes where it needs to go depending on one’s influences.”
—Kristi Bridgeman
“Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.”
―Terry Tempest Williams
Finding abstract patterns in water, whether liquid or solid, inspires me to look everywhere for works of art, since nature is bountiful in the artistic gifts she bestows. More of the patterns, and the patternless, images I photograph are here: Lightscapes, capturing Pattern and Light
I love Kristi Bridgeman’s quote! Holds true for photographers, too, I think, in aligning the angles of the photo and in post processing. Your work is beautiful, Jann.
Thanks for your kind words. Agreed, her quote applies to all artists (I count photography as art, as you know!)
Sometimes we’re moving a bit too fast to enjoy the sights and colors around us. Amazing photos!
Thank you.
I commented but it did not show up – so I will say it again –
WOWZA!!! Really nice work!!!
Good of you to be so enthusiastic, Jo Ann, thanks!
Those reflections are just wonderful, I love to take and view photos of reflections in water:)
