Road Trip
Today I tried to combine story telling with iconography, as the Bauhaus Master, Paul Klee did. However, as I understand the art of Klee, he had very few preconceptions of the final outcome of his painting. He would take his pencil point ‘for a walk’ and let his creativity guide him. His astute design sense […]
The Frame’s the Thing
Another photo from the archives. It was taken during one of my walks around town, when I lived New York City in the 1980s.
Untitled – Purple Yellow
Today’s jumping off point was mixing colors with white and black. In the frame-design world, the mat corners we use when showing customers their artwork matted and framed, are classified by tint or tone.

I couldn’t resist a reprise of yesterday’s photos of sunlight and shadows on a slatted awning over the porch.

Everything was in alignment below: The picture below gives one an idea of the scale of the striped environment in which I found myself. […]
Off Eye Level
In going through my archives, I found a couple of photos I took when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. I chose these two for the camera’s point of view.
