I’ve recently uploaded a couple of new fine art prints available for purchase on my gallery at DiscoveredArtists.
The first is a black and white photograph titled ”Wisdom is the Light of Day“ and is available as a 13″x10.8″ on archival photo metallic inkjet paper.
The light of the day was playing in the tree limbs. I used a Lensbaby Composer on my Canon DSLR and experimented with various levels of “blurriness”. Choosing the metallic finish paper for this print came from reviewing the new metallic paper from Red River Paper. I found that the photographs “blurriness” and abstractness was enhanced with the sharpness and contrast of the paper.
This abstract photograph, ”the shape of things” available as a 13″x12.5″ on archival photo metallic paper, was taken around the same time as the first. Using the same techniques and tools I further explore how light, shadow, and form help the viewer explore the shape of things without too much constraint on the subject (even when the subject is clearly stated). The photo metallic paper was also chosen for this fine art print and plays splendidly with the natural muted color tones that were inherent in the image capturing process. There are green/gold colors whose vibrancy is enhanced by the texture (or lack thereof) with this paper choice.
New addition to online art photography gallery at DiscoveredArtists “the pattern of leaves” can be purchased for $85 as an 8×10 limited edition print.
the pattern of leaves
You can find patterns in all sorts of places. It’s one of the wonders of looking at life through a lens.
One of the biggest aspects of photography that appeals to me as an artist is the limit of view or vantage point that photography offers. The constraints of having to work inside a box. It’s ironic when I think about it. I often colored outside the box as a child. Cliche? Perhaps.
New addition to online art photography gallery at DiscoveredArtists “Of blossoms and things” can be purchased for $85 as an 8×10 limited edition print.
Of blossoms and things
Requested piece by the wife. She loves black and white photography with floral and natural patterns. It’s good to have someone to “request” work that I don’t mind doing.
I think most people have this misconception of Midland, TX. Perhaps it is because we are surrounded by West Texas desert or perhaps it’s because we are often plagued by hot hot summers.
Once you enter a truly great neighborhood like ours your perception starts to change a little. There is an abundance of wonderfully kept gardens just ripe for great photography.
I don’t have a green thumb and find myself looking, with awe, at the care and intimacy that our neighborhood gardeners have taken in creating lush and beautiful landscape.
I feel like our home is a sore spot on the rest of the neighborhood. Perhaps I’ll work on my green thumb in the Spring.
