a very happy Saturday to you all
just popping by to share this inspirational video extract (which I found via twitter)
it features the work of a favourite artist of mine, Kurt Jackson, and also the work of artist Michael Porter
who is new to me ... but I'm so glad to have discovered his beautiful artwork and photography
both artists share how they are inspired by nature and their surroundings
and, of course, I share Michael Porter's love of collecting and gathering ...
pebbles, stones, feathers, twigs, berries for dyeing, pressing flowers etc.
whenever I am able to manage a walk out with my camera
so completely understand where he is coming from
and how colours layers and textures influence his work

I hope you find the video inspiring and beautiful ...

I have been posting a little on twitter and flicker again ...
I never used to like twitter very much but the opportunity to share photos there has improved tremendously
and flickr has always been a favourite place where I've enjoyed presenting my work and photography
it's a start ... a way back to the way things were ...
thank you for reading today ... have a good weekend
