I admire those who see a landscape and paint it. I enjoy painting abstract art when the chance arises but landscapes still elude me. My camera has helped my creative side blossom. All around the change of light and shadow creates mood-inspiring moments. Capturing these moments to share with others brings me the same joy as when I look at other artists' work. Some famous places get photographed or painted thousands of times but art created from these famous places can still inspire and evoke emotion because we are all wonderfully unique thus what we see and create is as well.
Before Easter, while driving on a beautiful sunny early spring day in Hodges, Montana this hayfield caught my eye. The late afternoon sun was casting light and shadows across the landscape. Light shimmered off the dry grasses like glittering highlights. Pulling over I grabbed my camera to see if I could catch the enchanting scene before me.
Try pausing for a moment in your day and notice how light and shadow interact or how laughter can create beautiful art in your world.
