It's funny how I am influenced by my husband without even being aware of it. A couple weeks ago he painted a giant mural for a client who runs the
Traditional Martial Arts Institute in Pantego, Texas. As the mural progressed, he'd send me images to look at. It is a monochromatic mural, filled with meaningful symbolism for his client. I finally got to see it in person yesterday. I think it is one of his best.
It was during the time he was working on this mural that I decided to rework some photos I'd taken in Puerto Rico this past Summer and have them framed for our home. I originally processed them in color, but this is what I ended up with. At the time, neither of us saw the connection.
Right now, I'm in the middle of creating a series of photos of objects I've been collecting for years while out walking. It's kind of strange how they they turned out monochromatic, too.
I didn't see this correlation until about an hour ago, when I uploaded the images of that mural. What about you? Are you influenced by the people around you? How so?
