~ Exploring Harmony in Nature and Art ~

A painting of two girls in Greek robes connected with a beam

The Lens Artist Challenge this week is hosted by Ann Christine, the theme is Harmony.

My featured image is a mural from a suburb in Perth. Two women connected by a central beam piercing the moon. Cosmic energy working simultaneously with nature.

The two photos below are from the gardens at Monet’s home in Giverny.

“If you live in harmony with nature you will never be poor; if you live according to what others think, you will never be rich.” – Seneca

Each green leaf, plant, and moss blends harmoniously with each other.

The most beautiful concept of music is that there are no barriers, no fences, no walls. It is a universal language.” – Carlos Santana

A bronze sculpture of a man playing a traditional Portuguese guitar along with his accompanying singer. You can just imagine the harmonious partnership.

This was a wonderful theme and I had fun looking through my archives. A great way to spend a grey Sunday afternoon.

  1. Wonderful examples, Alison. Giverny is on my list, I’d love to go there and it’s such a good choice for the challenge. I love the last one, it is close to my heart!

  2. Wonderful examples, Alison. Giverny is on my list since long, but we never managed to get there. Our children were young then, and the train trip “tedious” for the. I’d love to go there and it’s such a good choice for the challenge! Talking about harmony – water, flowers, colours…they have it all. Art is a perfect choice as well – they complement each other.
