Ike in the Sun

My artistic process comes from the world around me. I love to capture things as they are, whether it be mundane objects or showcasing my loved ones as I see them. I submitted a picture of my dog. We had just built a new deck in our backyard, and it was made of Ipe wood so it wouldn’t get burning hot like our last one. My dog, Ike, went outside on a sunny day and laid down, eventually falling asleep. There was a light breeze blowing his fur around. I went out with him, and after he fell asleep I took a picture. He still likes to lay on our deck when it’s warm, and it’s very cute. I brought out the warmer tones in the picture and added contrast to show what the weather was like that day, and brightened the shadows to lighten the mood.

To me, creativity means thinking outside the box and looking at things from a different perspective. It means using your imagination and problem solving skills to create, solve, or improve something.
