Studies in line, design, shadow and nature.

As you look at these pictures you might decide they are done in the same geographic area, but they are not. The first two are photo's taken in Southern Florida in the summer while the pictures

in these last scenes are taken in Asheville, N.C. in the fall.

The study of lines and shadows lend very easily to other art work, line drawings, paintings, abstractions, and other media. The slant of the sun depending on the season, the cast of the light, the sharp contrast of light and dark seem to speak in terms of emotion and memory. The trees are rich in texture and also define positive negative spatial areas. You can feel the differences in the photos as feel as see the differences. The later in sepia tones makes one think of old and memories. It is almost a visual diary, and a way to study for future art works.
