Yarrow flowers for Macro Mondays Theme: Unusual patterns, June 22 2020

at least there is some ice now.....

Thanks to the sun the leaves made a beautiful pattern on this tree. I was relieved to finally made an image that met the monthly assignment of my photo club : "patterns".

It was done in the morning, before I had to go to sleep,

I was so tired that I had vertigo,

This landscape was done initially like that,

oil thick brushes and pastels, knifes and mixers,

I also work on a variant with a more 3D look but even if it look nice ,

I think that it looks overdone and I prefer this first variant ( which eventually look overdone either)

I have a good time with my painting activity and try to pass over all the other computer problems,

all my projects are for a later time but I hope they will be better on that occasion.

I will keep going with the photography, when I will be going out of the house which was not the case this days.

All the best to you,

I hope You enjoy this festive days .

Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana

The first one of my 111 pictures in 2011 challenge. No 27 - fruit... plus 2 textures to distress it a little. Plus, clearly, too much time on my hands!

Macro Monday - Patterns in Nature

Underside of a fern

HMM!

Very exciting for me since I had never written a pattern of any kind before. This particular one is entitled "Fairytale Mushroom Cottage" ~

this was the 6th of 7 pincushions to debut in Quilt Fabric Delights - Pincushion of the Month Club in Australia! Thanks Sarah for letting me be a part of this fun adventure!

one of my photographic studies taken in morning light on my screened porch.

This was in a neighbor's front yard. I don't know what kind of plant this is, but it has amazing patterns! Black and white really brought them out. I added a blue filter in Aperture (yes, there really is a use for that ;) which also emphasized the patterns.

Biblioteca Pública de Salamanca. Public library of Salamanca.

Built in 1493 by Rodrigo Arias de Maldonado as his residenc, a knight of the Order of Santiago de Compostela and also a professor at the great the University of Salamanca. Now the public library. So referring to see so many of the towns youth utilizing it's services.

Literally took me 15 min waiting to compose the shoot with no people, few were very kind as not to interfere.

Another floor design. This one is probably not too novel, but I haven't really been playing around with these elements very much, so it was fun to try out :)

Thunderstorms are very common over Kansas. This one presented interesting cloud formations.

7 of my designs are in the book "patterns"

Morphic Resonance - How the shapes of the past shape the present.

"Intertwined" is just some Photoshop digital pattern play.

Nature never ceases to amaze me. This rock in a mixed spruce/fir forest on the Maine coast is covered with lichens of various shapes and colors.

Saturday self-challenge - patterns

From one of my aldult painting books.

Of course, the patterns are snow blown onto the ice and fixed there by the appropriate temperature. A bit unusual.
