build your beautiful self

I am a huge visual texture lover. It is probably why I like oil paintings so much. I remember when I was younger, my father would watch that painting show and would paint beautiful landscapes using oil paints. The artist made him use “globs” of paint to texturize the painting. I would look at them while they were drying and see the different ways the light hit the canvas. Colors would show up in different hues while the paint dried. Then when the dry time was long enough, I could look with my fingers as well. The paint dried to many different dimensions of texture. It was a beautiful thing.

I was listening to a talk this morning and the speaker stated that there are senses that are related, and the brain receives the information using the connected senses while processing the information. When you are eating your brain is processing the scents coming through your nose and the tastes that are coming from your tongue. It doesn’t process them individually, but as a whole. That is why when you are sick, foods don’t taste that good. You can’t smell them. Similar to the way your eyes and hands see the world. Blind people revert to their fingers to read. You process the information deeper when you use the connected senses.

I am a huge touch person. I love looking, touching and smelling all the flowers. I compile my photos based on the beauty and the richness of the textures of the flowers in the photographs. I hope you enjoy what I thought was beautiful.
