ALGONQUIN ART 2011 ‘Being Water’

BEING WATER

‘Being Water’ is based on a photograph I took on Rock Lake in Algonquin and illustrates my theme and belief that Nature is aware and conscious. ‘BeingWater’ is whimsical and fantasy oriented. How many faces of water can you see? I count more than 9 faces but then water is multi-faceted, multi-talented and very changeable. Our bodies are over two thirds water. No wonder we need to move and dance with this magical element.

ALGONQUIN ART 2011 ‘Being Sky’

‘Being Sky’ is also a visual representation of my belief that Nature is aware and truly a living force.

The conscious cloud is powerful and will eventually fall to earth in the life-giving water cycle.

Photo Collage in the Gallery 96 show Rural Roots. The human version.

‘lookin’ back 2′

Photographing in the country last spring, this cow came running towards me across the new corn field and stood staring at me. There was a sense of longing and poignancy from her. I hated to get in the car and drive away from her. Fits into my theme of Nature is always looking back at us. The cow version.

From my ELEMENTAL SERIES ‘Clear Wing’ was chosen for the annual Lawson Killer Juried Exhibit at Gallery Stratford. It is 24″ x 36″ and printed on canvas. It is a very soothing and peaceful photo. I spent a long time with the winged one as it emerged from it’s chrysalis last summer. Magical nature.
