The world as seen from high above is such a simple, orderly place. I still remember the first time I looked out an airplane window and saw the neatly composed patterns of farmland down below. And the rows of surburban homes lined up like so many monopoly houses on cul-de-sacs. The snaking lines of rivers and mountain ranges.
This Friday’s round-up is full of images from artists who also find inspiration in the what can be seen from the sky. Hope you enjoy the view!

Both my grandmothers were painters & artists in their own right and were tremendous influences on me. I love that you are sharing your love of art with your young granddaughter!

Suzanne

August 15, 2011 at 2:07 PMGlad you saw this, Suzanne! I always try to either send the artists featured a link via Facebook or email, but was jetting out of town on Friday. But I love that it was a nice surprise waiting for you in your inbox! I’m happy to hear you’re still enjoying the blog.
All the best,
Lesley
