Things That Attract My Eye – Part 28

Featured by communicatingcreatively, posted in Photography

Seems a great day to catch up on a few things, as, in Sydney, South-West it is 43C /109.4F today. Yesterday, it was 41C and the day before, 39C. Tomorrow, It’s supposed to be only 24C. Phew!

The following selection of images were taken across two walks I did this week in the same vicinity, one in that beautiful time of day before Dusk, and the others were taken earlier this morning (before the heat of the day arrived).

Last Wednesday, I walked 4.6 km / 2.86 miles & this morning I walked 7.25km / 4.5 miles.

Till next time!

The images below were taken last week when my Wife, Susan & went into the City (Sydney) for lunch to celebrate our 27th Wedding Anniversary.

After a long lunch, we took a casual stroll around Circular Quay just relaxing and enjoying the views.

“Seeing Double” – The Sydney Harbour Bridge reflected in the windows
of the Sydney Opera House.

“Mosaic” – Reflections in an office building at Circulay Quay. Taken from the Cahill Expressway.

“Design” – Part of the large sandstone tiles at the front of the Sydney Opera House.

Beauty is all around us. We just need to be ‘aware.’

Till next time!

Reflective of my Mood…

Today’s post is Watercolour Sketch a Day, 4 years, 363 days (in a row).

It has been a fairly hectic start to the year work and other commitment-wise and I think the subject of today’s sketch was clearly about my mind looking for a rest, I feel…

I called it, ‘Meditative.’

Is the art that you produce always reflective of your current mood?

Till next time!

Things That Attract My Eye – Part 8

This recent collection features clouds, cacti and a few other things. The cacti flowers are from my own plants and (as with no doubt many people), clouds have always fascinated me.

I recall as a child, often laying on the grass, looking up at the clouds as they drifted on by, slowly altering shape. It was and remains, a wonderful way to relax. Remember to pop on some sunscreen though.

Till next time!

I’ve often said that walking is a great way to clear the mind, do some exercise and I always come up with a few ideas, whether they be for our business, a poem, a painting, sketch etc.

It’s also a way to sharpen our senses and awareness. There is so much beauty around is, natural or man-made, and on my walks, I love to capture this. Here are some more examples of ‘things that attract my eye.’
