The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist’s statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I found. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Today’s featured artist: Jennifer MacNeill
No farm is complete without a barn cat.
Expert mouser. Sunbeam seekers. Driveway greeters. Wipe warmer. Horse spookers. Fence sitter. Feed room sentinels. Cobwebbed whiskers.
The cat is an often overlooked resident at a stable yet they perform such valuable tasks.
When I visit a farm I always ask how many cats do they have and where do they like to nap. It’s often in a little pool of light somewhere in the hayloft.
Cats seem to know what light will work best for a beautiful photograph. They are little living works of art.
