How do you concisely explain the evolution from witness to artist? I spent 35 years as a photographer, faithfully trying to replicate reality through the medium of a camera. Now I strive to create images that evoke an emotional response primarily using color and movement, painting without a canvas or brush. Inspiring subject matter is everywhere and I often do my best work in my own back yard.
Roses in color are pretty, but also pretty boring. But a rose in black and white, now that is something striking. These beauties are from the Lake Harriet Rose Garden in late August.
It’s the end of the season, so the roses were getting pretty tattered. The time for flowers is ending. Winter is coming. I can’t wait.
You know how I feel about black and white images. The back lighting on the two last ones is yummy.
