Appreciating Nature in Art
Monday, August 25, 2008 at 6:39PM
What do you love about nature and wildlife, and how can you express that?
What is it about being in nature that makes your life so wonderful?
What is it that thrills you about watching a fawn frolic about an open field?
Why do the antics of a young calf tickle you to no end?
You have a unique experience in nature that only you can share with others to heighten their experiences in the wilds they explore. For you capturing nature in your unique way is not just about finding a magical subject, but it is about connecting with the life around you to affect not only yourself but the viewer.
What are some ways that nature attracts you?
Nature is the wonderland of the imagination holding treasures wherever you seek, from mountain sunsets to the shining shores of the ocean to the dew covered grass petals and dragonflies of the meadow. Nature has an unlimited supply of inspiration for the imaginative thinker, so, what you love about wilderness areas doesn’t have to be the same thing that attracts other’s attention.
The act of capturing nature in your unique way is an act of appreciation and that process nurtures feelings of appreciation for nature. The artist that studies animals to depict them with a deep respect for their individual personalities and accuracy in their unique body structures; learns to understand in a special way the animals they paint.
Let what you are attracted to in nature guide you to the creations of your dreams.
