Every spring I am delighted to watch the trees behind my house green up. I want to nibble that delicate tender green as it begins with the weedy understory and creeps up the taller trees. I wait for the old apple tree and the wild dogwoods in the middle of the woods to bloom. And I celebrate the tulip poplar that has taken root at the verge of the back lawn.
However, before all the leafing out began I took many photos of tree trunks and logs that I encountered along the tow path, and played with them in Photoshop Elements. I don’t know just what I’ll do with them, but I am thinking of printing them out on fabric.
Yes, I’m partial to black and white renditions as I think they highlight the textures more than color does.
B&W all the way. Lovely!
Thanks. I think I have other earlier tree photos to edit with similar b &w filters.
Oh, I love these, so much potential. I imagine it will be an interesting journey of exploration for you and look forward to seeing how you use these in your artwork.
Lots of potential that will join the queue of my other potential projects. This time I won’t print on fabric until I am ready to start.
