THE WELL-PLACED CHAIR IN SNOW

In the walled garden at Abbotsford, Sir Walter Scott's home, sat a well-placed chair. Its mission, aesthetic.
Place a chair in your landscape for aesthetics. Yes, a Tara landscape design rule.
.
You'll find yourself there on a Saturday morning eating breakfast.
.
When the 1st warm afternoon arrives you'll sit & have lunch.
.
From a window you'll see a cardinal land on the arm and know, you're living a beautiful life.
.
Imagine the picture,above, without the chair. A mush of snowy branches.

Yesterday, what it took to shoot a Southern Snow Storm.

ARE SHADOWS DESIGNED INTO YOUR LANDSCAPE?

BETTER THAN WALLPAPER. Like my shadows? Of course you do. I designed them.
.
The epiphany of designing shadows was instant wicked potent delight.
.
PLAYING WITH SUNBEAMS.
.
Shadows to fall, fold, envelope, embrace & caress a landscape and you.
.
Sensuous shadows alighting on interior walls of your home. Pitching art where there was none before.
.
Hmm. I've never seen a landscape design lecture about creating shadows. Perhaps I should include it in my list of titles?
.
Chair is in my summerhouse.
