Herman De Vries is a great example of an artist who has an ongoing curiosity about nature. Shapes, colors, forms and how they look. You are going to explore in this way. I want you to walk in nature, if you cannot walk in nature that is not a problem look for objects in your house. Look at their shapes and sizes and colors. Put them where you can photograph them.
