RE: The Dead Insects - A Photographic Study (MACRO) series, ongoing
Conceptually, it's like the still life paintings of the Dutch Masters. They wanted to emphasize the transient nature of life. Your images do that, too.
Thanks Haphazard. That's a great shout. I'm not sure I would have the patience to but wouldn't they make great paintings. I love the realist collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.. they didn't have cameras back then did they!
You know what. I never thought of doing this but I just might paint a couple of these up on Canvas !
That would be cool, if you painted some of these. It would be a really evocative color palette, too. Good luck in capturing their fragility!
I did buy some Liquitex acrylics in the Cass sale with a view to doing some painting.. I just never thought of these as subjects before ! nice. If I manage to get round to it, I'll let you know :)
I bet your art will turn out great. You have such a connection with your subject. Happy painting!
thanks dandelion, let's see hey (If I can find some time to squeeze it in)
:D
