I think that nature will always be a popular motif.  It's all around us and the Biophilia Hypothesis states that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life.  Many people believe that being in nature improves health, mood, and even happines
s.

Some things I'm taking away from these photos:

  • Leaves and flowers can be interpretative rather than realistic.
  • Leaves and flowers aren't the only natural elements; waves, clouds, trees, nuts, acorns, and more!
  • Print on top of a messy painted background!
  • Printing doesn't always have to be in black ink, even on a dark surface.
  • Coloring just part of an image is very visually effective.
  • A stamp doesn't have to be perfect and smooth to have enormous impact and be beautiful!

What are you taking away?

Thanks for stopping by!
