The beauty in the ordinary! We see this same building material all the time in Colombia, these tin sheets are very useful for just about anything. We call them zin, which I think means zinc, but not sure. They definitely look better when painted.
I love delicate shadow work over the multi-colored fencing, this is so real, so ordinary, yet so profoundly beautiful! Much of the shadows almost look like flower fractals themselves!
I would also love to see more about murals and teaching murals! Have you done a post more about that yet?
Thank you for your enthusiastic response to my post. The only one I have mentioned murals on is this one:https://steemit.com/mspsteem/@kathleenscarboro/me-the-artist-behind-the-art, which was my introductory post. I spent many years earning my living as a public art muralist, sculptor, and mosaicist. I should post about these things; Lord knows I have a ton of material.
One of my favorite ideas to pursue is that great beauty is under our noses at every moment and we just have to take a good look to see it and show it to others.
We have eyes but we do not see! Tell me about it!
I have to work to drop the scales from my eyes some times. After four years living deep in the Andes Mountains in rural Colombia, I would walk to and from our farm and the nearest town, and sometimes I would just stop, taken aback that I wasn't noticing how spectacular the view was!
Whenever visitors come they mention it, yeah, its spectacular, move along, LOL.
Life is beautiful, if you stop to realize it! Going to check out that intro post now :)
Yes every day I have to remind myself that beauty is everywhere and seek to perceive it.
Your art in this article has helped remind me of the beauty of shadows on everyday materials!
