Bodyscaping. I think you’re onto something!
Doesn’t all good humor have shades of truth…and I especially enjoy unique perspectives that
cause me to laugh and think simultaneously. ;^) When I got up this morning I had no idea that
I’d be chuckling to myself about cowlicks all day. See what you’ve done!

Wow, fooled again.
I haven’t ventured into computer software imagery just yet, but look forward to using it and creating my own graphics library, experimenting with different techniques, etc. Still, my heart is with hand drawing and the immediacy of pencil or ink to paper and the look/feel of that process.

Nice model and birdseye view of a field of daisies.

A very uncoventional route…
I got a crash course in local plants by working one short season at a nursery that specialized in native plants. Also joined the local Master Gardener program in order to begin making friends/contacts and getting hands on with plants.
No money in either, of course, but I learned a lot fast and had fun. -
Cal replied to the topic meaning of art in landscape in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 13 years, 9 months ago
I suppose it’s similar to why a person puts plants in their homes. There is a relationship between manmade and naturemade that needs expression.
It’s not functional in the rational sense, but enhances the space and experience – perhaps emotionally or is visually interesting, responds to it’s environment, or the elements in some way (sound sc…[Read more] -

”Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, a mistress above all masters, are laboring in vain.” — Leonardo da Vinci.
Nature will have the last word in that argument – while we theorize and argue semantics…as we circle the drain! haha.
