"The garage sale painting" (Color paper) I chose to take these photos on a walk around the river and the neighborhoods s near there. I wanted to convey a sense of calmness and anticipation for the upcoming summer. Thi was one of the easiest photos to take just because of how beautiful the setting and landscape was.
"the reeds"
"Before flourish" (crosshatch) While I was walking near the railroads I saw a small pond with a ton of cattail stalks before they make new growth ie: before flourish. I wanted this to give off a sense gloominess but also chance at the coming growth. And a hardship I got when taking this was making it look good enough to not be dead but bad enough to show that it is not at bloom right now.
"6ft under"
"An ant's perspective" (Sumi-E) I took this photo on my way back from m walk when I saw a super tall tree with cool detailed bark. I wanted this to invoke feelings nature's perspective and freedom. A hardship I had while shooting this was trying to get so close to the tree.
