Trying to identify with my artist's work, I used all natural environmental settings this week. In Trail's work "I found you in the dark" She uses a lot of shadowy effects in her work that I hadn't been using often before this week. Although, my pictures are not at dusk or at night I used natural shade from the forest around me to depict what I felt from Trail's work.
The feelings I collected from Trail's work were a novelty to me. The auras of her pictures were somewhat quiet and tranquil but, very powerful. She makes me think of new beginnings, the sadness of losing a love, and an older stage of life. Her pictures take me back to when I was a kid growing up in the sticks, exploring in the woods. Her work makes me think of magic and young minded kind of hope that I tried to capture in my own pictures.
