First posting of photo's

These are not very recent, but are some of the ones I am quite proud of.

As I said in my hello message I am a Sculptor and artist and use photography as a medium to share what I make and create. All C&C is welcome ( so are commisions for bespoke sculptures) what I am not showing is those that I have sold. Hope you like.

I like them

Some interesting images there I especially like the British Summer one and the pram and flag.

Call me an old softie but I love the kitten with her paw out of the bowl

Clematis seed head and the Sunglasses get my next vote, as for the rest there are some commendable shots, but it has to be said...what were you thinking with that shot of the thistle, get it in the recycle bin before anyone else sees it

thanks all.

I know the thistle isn't very appealing as is. But it was the colour that hit me. The plan was to use it as inspiration for an abstract painting. Which I have not got around to but have played about on photoshop to give you an idea. Now the intention would be to paint this on a massive scale around 6 foot wide and about 4 foot high. when you look at it on a small scale you can still see the resemblence to a thistle or at least a flower of some sort, but on the larger scale it is harder for the brain to associate all the colour to a specific recognisable shape. I do this lots, most of my inspiration comes from whats around me that is just taken for granted. Take mozzy, I don't know if you noticed but its an upside down moped that i found dumped in the woods, the noise they make as kids run them up and down the streets gave me the idea for the final sculpture.

anyway back to the thistle here is a quick 5 min play on photoshop to give you an idea of how the painting could look.
