What you'd miss.......

I was waiting for a client to show up to a very early morning photo shoot at a wilderness type park. I sat in my truck listening to satelite radio and pushing back irritation. I decided to take my camera out and walk around, just to see what I could come up with. I took this picture only because it seemed there was very little else that interested me. I realized then that I was starting to let my art become 'just a job'. I remember when I used to get up at 5:30 in the morning so I could find a great vantage point for a new sunset. I photographed for the sake of just doing it........for me. I decided that I wouldn't ever see another missed appointment or 10 mile drive for a no-show become an inconvenience for me, but rather a window of artistic opportunity flung wide open. I came home and set to turning this simple pine branch with cone into a piece of watercolor fine art...........for me. I'm so thrilled with the results!
