Verdi- creativity isn't just something we can put on paper or canvas
Gardens are more like sculpture- three dimensional - and even harder as there are other elements which affect the final result - weather and seasons and soil.
You're an artist like any other
I'll call you 'Constable' Verd from now on....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
There is some very nice pieces of work being shown on here, and I guess whilst many of us can't paint, there is hidden away in all of us, the ability to be creative. It is just a case discovering what that particular thing is.
I can't paint, or say that I can't as I've never tried, but my creative side is spent playing with wood.
Playing with wood is a release away from the day to day job, and gives me a way to switch off and create things for others to enjoy.
In relation to creating art that features plants etc of the garden, I like to create things to compliment what is in the garden and give further added interest to it.
I can delete the following example if it isn't seen to fit the thread. I've chosen it as it carved into a tree that we cut down, so extending the useful life of the tree, and it also has another element that I enjoy. It is decaying. Art becomes very stale and I like to see it change. By rotting away, the carving will change and eventually just disappear. Whilst this process is happening, life is given to fungi and various insects etc. It is kind of harmony and balance
Obviously I have many more examples of work/art, but don't want to add to the thread if it isn't seen as suitable.
A while ago someone posted pix of their Dad's ivy sculptures which everyone enjoyed so...yes..I'd say they're totally suitable! How talented you are - and it's a living sculpture which is even better
