Day of the Artist

This past week we had several sessions on Creativity and Spirituality. Bro. Mike Moran, CP , an artist from Bronx, New York, gave excellent presentations on the Arts and the Artists. He emphasize the significance of "really seeing" when we paint, sketch, or take photos mindful of using our right brain instead of just using the left brain. He focused on the importance of compostions, texture, light and shadows, angles, diagonals. An example of an abstract photo is the photo taken on our roadway (above photo)

The picture of the pine tree is an example of long distance photo and compostions. The photo below is an example of abstract picture with diagonals, light and shadows, and reality.

I also took a photo showing reflections of the lake and our Sangre Center. It was fun and refreshing to be aware of these elements of photography and gave me another
perspective and outlook while taking pictures.
