Motif

Motif

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

Motif simply means a decorative design or pattern. In my work last month, I was dealing with several motif designs, but I wanted to find a more naturally-occurring motif for the final day of the photo challenge. The late afternoon … Continued

Shape

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

When I started thinking about the use of shape in art, I thought of three dimensional sculpture. When I was studying at Emily Carr in 2005, I was assigned to make a cube out of plaster and then “wrap it.” … Continued

Asymmetry

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

Here are a couple of my paintings that demonstrate a degree of asymmetry. On the left is a pair of paintings that I display with a space of about an inch in between. While the horizon is aligned, the canvases … Continued

Focus on Foreground

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

Last weekend we had a very snowy day! We had to venture out and try to make the most of it. I loved the way this little piece of icicle snow was clinging to the school’s monkey bars, which seemed … Continued

Focus on Background

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Nature, Photography | 0

These are the background scenes around my place. Living in BC, we don’t normally have a snowy forest to look at! But this is what our backyard view is. Inside, I included a photo that focuses on the background landscape … Continued

Multicolour

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

I love colour, which I’ve photographed already a lot this month. By the time I got to multicolour in the instagram #artsydefined series, I turned to my little helpers for ideas. Anyone who lives with or works with children know … Continued

Ornamentation

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

I found a couple of examples of ornamentation during a busy weekday. The beautiful lace sleeves of my 19th century period costume at work, and a handbag that I made about ten years ago. I remember how frustrating it was … Continued

Depth

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

Depth is defined as the distance from the top or surface of something to its bottom or complexity and profundity of thought. In my creative process, both of these definitions present themselves. Layers and layers of both thought and media … Continued

Form

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

Most of my artwork does not feature a strong form; I tend to paint abstract landscapes with a horizon. This painting actually hangs in our laundry room. I liked it more in one of its previous stages, when it featured … Continued
