My love affair with trees continues. My favorite subject matter has always been trees. This shot, taken in Toronto's High Park, is an example of what I look for when it comes to trees. I love the tall trees that inhabit this area, and Ontario as a whole is a great place to see the beautiful maples, oaks, and elms. I like the repetitive shapes that the branches offer, and repetition is a great tool to produce a harmonious image. All great photographers and artists use this ploy. Speaking of art, I will be exploring painting with real paint soon. It remains to be seen how soon I will post them on my blog, though. It will take some time for me to perfect my technique. I have had a few years of art instruction to fall back on, but I know my first work will not be the greatest. Mostly I have to work on the technical aspects of painting. I'm looking at trying out water color, oils, and acrylic A few of my favorite artists are Gordon MacKenzie, Robert Genn, and Doris McCarthy.
