Pattern in Nature Galleries
Land - Water - Rocks - Plants - Lichens - Pools - Seeds - Trees - When exploring the natural world I look for rhythm and pattern; harmoniously embedded lines, curves, colours, and shape of organic structure. Drawings, designs and paintings develop from these observations. Spin boxed links to Posts and Post Galleries.
Growth and Decay
Outward patterns of new growth, fresh stars, spirals: and inward patterns (entropy) of decay; layers break down.
Water
SEA - RIVER - POND - Wave, Movement, Ripples, Transparency, Reflections, Flow, Vortices, Tides
Gallery
Rocky ForeshoreLichen
Lichens, for their colours: yellow, orange, green, black, white with an ability to survive on the minimum life support of simple dampness. Thrive on coasts.
Flowers
Flowers, for their colour and geometry. Circular, rosette and spiral pattern formations. Bell shapes.
Seeds and Pods
Pods and Seeds because they include both interesting sculptural growth patterns, as well as texture and colour of decay, whilst simultaneously representing the germ of new life - the cycle of nature.
Trees
Trunks, roots, leaves, bark, moss - symbiosis
Leaves
Geometry extends in all directions with the shapes of leaves. As the main player in the natural environment leaves have always featured in designs.
Leaf Design
Leaves are all varied patterns of star forms, perfect on textile designs.
Moss
Star moss tiny little tree forms.
