SHELTER, PORTLAND, OR


I could not resist taking another picture of this shelter when I came home on the train. The late afternoon sun shining through the glass created a nice moody image. Posted by Picasa

FLYING OVER THE ROCKIES


Of course the days before Christmas are busy. I sill had some time to work with some images I did from the plane flying over the rockies. I liked the abstarct compositions wen I turned the images to black and white. Particularly the strong shadows and textured highlights appealed to me. Posted by Picasa

NATIONAL GALLERY, OTTAWA


I really enjoy visiting the National Gallery in Ottawa. The austere architecture of the building enhances the artwork. The image recalls Piet Mondrians angular, mathematical paintings. I deliberately made the image in black and white the emphasize the lines and surfaces.
