Here is my contribution for today for Becky’s October Square with the topic lines & squares.
These are photos of artwork that I saw on display (except the last one, which I drew last week). Each one has definitive lines and each also incorporates nature into the artwork.
At an art gallery in Poulsbo, WA: Notice how this artist has incorporated lines of musical notation into the white spaces (birches and birds) of her painting.

Fences create slanting lines when viewed head on – they lead to a hypothetical vanishing point. This is called one-point perspective, a basic technique used in drawing and photography. Below, a fence in León, Nicaragua followed by a fence in Des Plaines.
Buildings also offer excellent opportunity for juxtaposed slanting and straight lines using one-point perspective, such as the outside of the Des Plaines Library and …

Nature combined with man-made structures offers another opportunity to photograph slanted and straight lines. This photo shows the contours of nature in the trees, and how they have been cut to accommodate telephone wires.
