Lens-Artists Challenge # 396 – Pick a Favourite Quote and Illustrate it.

This week, you have the option to select either one quote along with up to five images, or up to five quotes each paired with a single image. Let us experience your quote(s) through your captivating pictures! This is the challenge presented to us by Ann-Christine.

I chose to do this the other way, I opted for a photo first and then put my creative energy into crafting a quote that resonates with the image. This approach feels easier and more intuitive for me as it allows the visual element to inspire my words. By focusing on the imagery, I find it simpler to capture the essence of a moment or an emotion that the picture evokes. Each photo serves as a unique spark, guiding my thoughts into meaningful expressions that reflect the sentiment captured in the shot.

Lets start with love: Love is a profound and multifaceted emotion that inspires, connects, and transforms our lives.

Love is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

My Fashion motto is “Buy less, choose well, and make it last.” — Vivienne Westwood, the photo does not really say that 😂

More like; “Life is too short to wear boring clothes.”‘

Art -“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.” — Oscar Wilde

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” — Edgar Degas

Nature: “Beauty is found in the tangled and the wild.”

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.” — Alice Walker 🌿

This week I was mindful and kept it short and hopefully sweet. Please share your chosen and illustrated quote(s)! us and with Ann-Christine. Please use the Lens-Artists tag and link to her original post.

A big shoutout to Beth for last week’s reflective challenge. I was fortunate to have recently come back from an island hugged by the sea; it seems we all share a love for water. The variety and beauty of your posts offered us plenty of inspiration for what’s to come! Next week, it’s Anne’s turn to guide us, so be sure to check out her lovely site for some inspiration.
