drifting home


cold... fresh, icy cold

sparkling water, frosted colour

I seem to never get enough of photographing the river

the water, in the low grey light of a cloudy day sparkled and shone

no sunshine required

when the images uploaded to my laptop I noticed the reflections - long, and indistinct

duplicated one photo

then cropped it

swiped to the left to see the original 

for some reason iPhoto overlaid the two

took a screenshot

edited that... 

on it goes


photo crop of a back channel

thin ice

texture


another image

silvertone filter

current marks


crop and crop again


another view, upstream


and silently still,

with no load to carry

the sentinels of the river stand watch


I bought ink today, and a brush

I have an idea, a drifting thought

ride the current

make the journey

When I look at the photos you post I just want to reach for my art materials and make marks. I see charcoal... and gesso .... horizontals and verticals and then artwork cropped and set off kilter like the first photo. Beautiful compositions here.

I'm not surprised you're having thoughts - much to ponder and reflect in these images..

Your artist eye captures the most thought-provoking images which I now you are just itching to turn into further art. So much inspiration where you are.
