Red is the predominant color in this study. Green and bluish striations connect the top and bottom layers. Blocks of yellow and red are gathered on the bottom and top (respectively) of the composition. This is an abstract construction, but I have my own idea about what it represents. What do you think?
I like this color combination and the arrangement of the rectangles that comprise the visual elements of this photo. Through the lens of my camera, I’ve been editing the views of pavement for a long time. I realize that some of my photos could be blueprints for wonderful abstract paintings. Looking at the photo below, […]
This is the fresh-water version of my sewer picture from the other day (Sewer Askew). In that post I rued the misalignment of the entitled sewer cover with the its surrounding concrete in which it was mounted. Today I saw this water line access cap. As with the sewer cap title, it is also not […]

Here is a storm drain cover I had to defy traffic to photograph. It was only parking lot traffic, so it was no big deal.
I saw the following out of the corner of my eye. My fight or flight reaction kicked in automatically. Surely this creature shouldn’t be in a restaurant. Then my eyes focused. I was reassured, but still wary.
My internet access is limited. Unable to post on time (:$$?&@?-$!! Comcast! Hope you check back later. Update Below: I began the abstract below with a pencil form that I traced over with a fine point pen. Cross hatching was the next step. After that, I noticed one particular form that I painted with tan/pink […]
The outlined figures of Joan Miró were in my mind when I started this composition. I was in my thinking pose as I tried to decide how to proceed. I became aware of the position of my hand on my brow and copied it onto the paper. I superimposed concentric curves on the face I […]
