On Valentine's day I prepared some oranges to eat.
My daughter excitedly said, "Look Mom! A heart!"
As I looked, she handed me the orange you see here.
Sure enough there was a "heart" in the orange!
Being the photo bug of the family I had to photogragh it.
See how the heart is right in the center
with lines eminating from the heart outward?
It's almost like the heart is beaming with the rays of a sun.
This reminded me of Andy Goldsworthy's "Reconstructed Icicles Around a Tree" and his "Hazel Leaves".PBS had done a special on his work last year sometime.
They documented his processes and the final works.It is a glorious mix of an artist working with nature and even science to produce and express something entirely new yet familiar to the eye.
The icsicles melted and the leaf structure moved in the water with the current so this is also an example of kinetic works as well as dynamic line. Nature contains much natural beauty and of course lines.The heart in the orange photo was created by the growth of the orange. All I did was slice and it was discovered. Goldsworthy goes beyond that and asks us to discover his work as well.

The top picture from my archives. The girls are my daughters walking down Hollywood Blvd. after one graduated from American Music and Dramatic Academy last year.
I remembered linear perspective-thought I would share it....

Marilyn, wow, I love the heart in the orange! You really are finding art all around you. How great. Thanks for sharing. Yes, very Goldsworthy-esque. -Michelle
Marilyn,
That is a cool picture of an orange. Before taking this art class, I would've just saw a juicy orange and looked past the lines. It's is cool how we can see lines in almost anything. Great job!
