Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Shapes and Designs

by

“Nature’s constantly screaming with all its shapes and scents: love each other! Love each other! Do as the flowers. There’s only love.” –  Octave Mirbeau

“The whole of nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form. It always surprises me when artists try to escape from this.” –  Henry Moore

“Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation of nature agree to find new shapes.” –  Kahlil Gibran

There is no way to encompass or exhaust the variety of shapes and designs in Nature in one blog post! (And why would anyone want to try?) I offer just a small sampling from my photo files and encourage you to look with new eyes all around you and capture a few of your own favorites. If you’d like to join in the challenge and share your finds, visit our host’s blog HERE for how to do that. You’ll see on Patti’s site some wonderful examples of design in natural and man-made art.

  3. Hi Priscilla. Your post answered the prompt with perfection. That said, I love that the photos all evoke a feeling. The fountain-fun. The ocean-a n invitation. The flowers- a deep breath. Thanks for being a great example to follow. And I agree, To capture it all will just be a work in progress, won’t it? Donna
