Mood

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Nature, Parenting, Photography | 0

On our weekend family hike, we took an adventure in a new direction on the nearby trail. It was an overcast day, but kind of flat light. I loved the look of this lonely tree, above, which I think captures … Continued

Dark

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Nature, Photography | 0

What I like about darkness in art is contrast. I love what happens in camera raw when I give that bottom left quadrant of the curves a little tug down. I like this painting (above left) that was created on … Continued

Symmetry

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Photography | 0

Symmetry is a calming, static element in composition. On day 10 of the artsy forager’s instagram challenge, #artsydefined, I was enjoying a relaxing Family Day holiday, so I enjoyed an easy start to the day with a good book and … Continued

Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Creative, Faith, Parenting, Photography | 0

Juxtaposing things is a big deal in art and photography. I can’t imagine an artist talk that doesn’t at some point juxtapose incongruent things: an impoverished person seated in front of a sports or an elderly person holding a newborn … Continued

Contrast

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Parenting, Photography | 0

Day 8: Contrast Since it was our day off, and it was quite cold outside, we decided to do some painting. When thinking of contrast, what better medium to choose than ink? I quickly sketched a few windswept pines, and … Continued

Angle

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Creative, Parenting, Photography | 0

I love the way the soccer net and its shadow play with angle! And the way the two photos I took on Day 7 for the art element, angle, play together. The composition between the shadow and the chain in … Continued

Shadow

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Photography | 0

Shadows: what an unusual sight in British Columbia in winter. Perhaps this daily photo challenge is a good way for me to notice how many sunny days we are actually having, to bolster me for the current forecast (rain until … Continued

Line

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Creative, Photography | 0

The challenge on Day 4 was to photograph the element of line. As I walked into work on a beautiful sunny morning, I noticed the line of barrel staves leaning against the palisade. The palisade itself is such a symbolic … Continued

Pattern

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Photography | 0

Pattern was easy to locate around my house, what with a six-year-old girl in the house, eating breakfast sporting a floral dress and a purple polka dot sweater. I also couldn’t help but photograph the retro pattern on my favourite … Continued

Colour

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Creative, Photography | 0

Since I enjoyed joining in the Artsy Forager’s instagram activity this week, I thought I’d share a couple photos from each day on my blog that I took. On Day 1, colour, I immediately thought of our overdyed rug. People … Continued
