When landscape is incorporated to arts

 

I came across a young artist, Eric, at the local park. He had extended a wrinkled plastic film between two pine trees to paint a blueish graffiti, which he was going to trash later on. I asked permission to take a few pictures and told him that it was very interesting to see the pine trunks and the grass behind. He looked at me in surprise, he was so focused on his art that he didn´t notice the trees and the enhanced green were part of it. He thanked me and said he was happy that I had a different point of view and perception of his art.

I suggested him to see what happened around 5PM in the Winter sunset, those trees have very hard beautiful shadows on the grass and the effect would be different.
