Good Monday Morning! Did you get your phone or camera out over the weekend? If you did, post your photos on my site and include your tips for great photos.
The photo tip for today – get different angles of your subject. I got out my inexpensive Kodak digital camera and went to Olbrich Gardens in Madison Wisconsin. Botanical gardens are a great place to invigorate your creative muse and your spirit. This photo is of a statue from the angle we usually use – straight on.
If you take more pictures from different angles you’ll get something even more interesting. Get in the habit of moving around your subject and taking several pictures. You can get on the ground and shoot up or get above your subject and shoot down.
Not only will you get really good photos, you will start to see other things in life from different angles. It’s really fun to practice seeing the details and interest in objects you may be passing by without acknowledging.
Have a creative day!!

I grew up around art and my creative spirit has been nurtured throughout my life. I have always found arts & crafts to be fun, relaxing, and fulfilling.
I stumbled into making beaded jewelry in my 20's and I still love playing with beads. I’ve worked in two bead stores, taught jewelry classes for 8 years, and my jewelry has been in many galleries. I am a guest artist at the Fall Art Tour in Sauk County.
I used an altered book to rediscover who I am and the path I wanted to take when I though all was lost. I found that in fact, all was found and I returned to college to pursue the dream that was inside me—just waiting to be realized.
I am a graduate of Edgewood College with a BS in Art Therapy and minors in Art & Psychology. While in school I continued to work with people from all walks of life and abilities. I have such a great time working with people who are finding that they do beautiful work.
This lead me to continue my passion of sharing the fun, joy, and self discovery that art brings. I have drawn from my life experiences to create classes that are designed to focus on the fun that art brings.

Good tip. We see too many thing “straight on”. Yet, when we create art we need to be able to see (or in my mind, “feel”) the thing we are creating in its entirety.
You are right Kim. I never really thought about it in that way. I might just try creating art from different angles too.
I can’t tell you how this touched me Kim! I am so moved that my simple camera lesson inspired such depth! I just love reading your posts and seeing your art. May you be blessed beyond measure today!!!! Cathy
