Not My Art!

I started "Not My Art" a long time ago, hoping it'd be a good way to show some love to fellow photographers.  I intended it to be a frequent feature, or at least some filler for the gloomy, uninspiring days when taking out my camera only highlights the depressing state of things. Well, the wintry days are all but over, but I still don't have much new material to put up.  Weddings and engagement sessions will soon be here, and they can't come too soon! I figured this'd be the perfect time to show off some other great artists and some of their work.  I picked a color combo and searched Etsy to my heart's content! I do hope you'll click on these beauties and maybe buy some art.  Because art from Kohls, well, just isn't.

First: a photograph (yes, it's a photograph) that's been in my Etsy Favorites for a while now.  I might buy it soon.  This artist, Frances Seward, takes all her photos using glass and light.  She has a truly amazing selection and they are all incredibly beautiful.

When I first started taking photos, I thought a black background was the be-all-end-all of good pictures.  I meticulously edited my photos until many of them looked like they were taken with a velvet backdrop.  Whatever.  Now I can hardly stand that look.

My personal art aesthetic (or taste, I guess) is always changing, and it always reflects my current taste in music, clothes, home decor, etc.  Right now, I'm all about old/vintage stuff.  I love antique stores and I want an old home. No black velvet or crystal chandeliers anywhere...just imperfect wood floors and character and history and sunshine.  Those don't come in new homes.
