Single matted with white Print at 8x10 Title - Sunburst This photograph was taken on a summer morning walk in the river valley. I got up really early so that I would be at the river when the sun rose. This was captured as the sun burst over the horizon. It puts the old Rossdale Water Treatment Plant and the Walterdale Bridge in silhouette. These are both iconic structures in our river valley. It was a great photo shoot in the river valley. We were to have our submissions juried this morning but the COV-19 pandemic has interrupted our plans. The show has been postponed for at least 3 days but likely for several weeks. We will be notified Tuesday as to the way forward. The show was held on-line at the the Allied Arts Council Instagram account. Framed at 15x12 inches in a matte black wood shadow box frame Double matted with warm white Print at 8x10 inches Title - Foggy Morning This was taken in March last year during my early morning walk. I see that there was a lot less snow last year. It leaves one wondering what lies ahead and where do the stairs on the right lead to? I like the white birch trees on the right balanced by a bit of snow on the left. The bend in the path leads to bottom left hand third of the image. Framed at 14x14 inches in a matte black wood frame Single matted with warm white Print at 6x6 inches Title - Moon Rising This is another shot from my oil on water session. I decided to take advantage of the color separation of the blue and green. I lightened the bubble in the top right hand corner to create a "moon". Increasing the contrast darken it so I had to increase the brightness as much as I could without losing the effect I wanted. Framed at 14x12 inches in a wood grain distressed wood frame
Double matted with granite grey Print at 6x8 inches Title - Wood Sculpture This photograph was taken earlier this year at the Antique Mall. It was a sculpture about 6 inches tall. I loved the circular wood structure at the top but the monkey holding it over it's head I could do without. I decided to put it on the natural wood floor to provide a nice background to complement the wood focal point. By positioning myself carefully I was able to eliminate the figure and keep just the wonderful texture and shape of the "flower". I don't know what the wood piece was originally but it is very interesting. The monkey was carved but I get the sense that circular shape is a natural object.
These are the ones I made early last year which have served me very well. Love the graphic pattern in the fabric which is very similar to the green ones I just made. This Frame Bag style was an idea suggested by an artist in the UK that brought art to shows during the summer. I expect he needed a few more than I have. Still now I have room for 8 framed photos.
