Cee’s B & W: Things That Fly

This week Cee has challenged us to show her anything that flies in Black & White.

You can see how others took up this challenge by clicking the underlined link.

I am not overly good at capturing things in motion so I had to be a little creative with this one. These are all things that could fly if they were real.

O.K. So I really do believe in angels but honestly I think they are much bigger and most times a little scarier than this.

One Word Photo Challenge: Ant

So this week we have been asked to depict the word ANT by Jennifer at O.W.P.C.

Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Anything Painted

cees-fun-foto

It’s Fun Foto time again. This week it is all about things painted. My mind immediately went to C.cada when I saw this challenge and all the painting we do as an artist’s collaborative.

Our mission statement for C.cada is…

C.cada (Cornerstone Christian artist’s day apart) was begun in an effort to give artists from every genre an opportunity to come together to discover, develop, and deploy their talents in ways that will better the church and the community.

To that end writers write, singers sing, musicians play and painters paint.
