Creativity thread

B

Please share anything you make in any way.

So, some examples: drawing, photography, digital art, painting, illustration, knitting, weaving, baking etc etc.

I will upload something myself at some point soon.

It doesn't have to be your own if you would like to share something from someone/somewhere else that you like.

  • My eyes aren't up to doing the craftwork I'd like, so my visual creativity has been confined to image manipulation. Here's a photo of mine of Symond's Yat in Gloucestershire, close to where I used to live, made to look like an impressionist painting.

    I personally have become used to having several pairs of cheapish "reading glasses" about the house (and still lose them!) for such purposes Alexa.

    Your selection of geographical places to live is very sound - I admire the "watercourse way" in the image that you have shared, thanks.

    Unfortunately myopia isn't the only medical condition that affects sight.

    In my case I have had cataracts, and have dry and wet myopia related macular degeneration.

    I am finding it increasingly difficult to do any kind of close work.

    ah, thanks for pointing that out  

    on the other hand and another spin on that - Monet later in his life had visual distortions that contributed to their works - their blurred vision also blocked blues and violets from being seen - so labeling the tubes and sliding into abstraction (which i think I may detect in @Alexa's presentation) can be a brilliant "hack" that leaves some of the most profoundly beautiful artistry I know of.
