Thank you!!!
Nine hundred followers? That’s crazy! (Almost as crazy as photographing plasticine coming out of a paint tube!)
At this rate, I’d better start thinking of something suitably BIG for the next milestone!
Don’t forget to visit my Facebook page Anna Cull ~ Art from time to time. It occasionally has news, WIP (work in progress) updates and photographs that aren’t posted here.

British artist Aubrey Hammond (1894–1940) is responsible some of my favourite1920s London Underground posters. He also illustrated several books and taught commercial and theatrical design. I think his cover for Metropolis, Thea von Harbou’s novel designed to complement the movie (co-written with husband Fritz Lang), is simply stunning.
In the style of… appears occasionally instead of my regular Shoot it, Sketch it posts. Using my own photographs as a starting point, I’m drawing inspiration from some of the world’s greatest illustrators. It’s not about slavishly copying someone else’s art; it’s an experiment in seeing things differently.
Significance
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” Aristotle

I took a few liberties with the composition and colours on this one. I don’t have any WIP (work in progress) photos but trust me when I say that it only came alive when I added blue to the background (and a hint of blue to the petals).
P.S. Yes, this is the same plum tree immortalised here, here and here.
