Adobe Wall

Recently, I toured Georgia O’Keeffe’s home and studio in the little village of Abiquiu, New Mexico.  This piece is influenced by that tour and visit into the surroundings in which she lived her life.  She had incredible talent, and a look at her art reflected great diversity – from stark complexity to stark simplicity.  This piece is focused on simplicity.  The color of the adobe, converted from photograph to painting, reflects all the nuances of our current life, whatever it may be.  Shades and tones are what makes it interesting.  The window reflects what is unknown, what is left to be.  It’s whatever we make of it.

What is Past

The foundational image for this piece, the top portion of an old weather vane and windmill, reminded me of the past.  I thought about how we can learn from the past, and if we don’t, we tend to repeat our same mistakes over and over, until we do learn.  I then came across a quote from Shakespeare – “What is past is prologue”- and thought that if we don’t learn from the past, then it truly is a prologue to what will be our future.  That can be good or bad……it’s up to us.

Sunset Sky

On one of our last day’s home before our California wine country trip, there was a lovely sunset.  I captured a few images of it, but rather than have me ramble on about how beautiful it was, I thought I would just supply some quotes about the beauty of nature to complement them.

Sunset Colors

On earth, there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.

-  Jules Renard 

Homes, Mountains and Sky

Nature always wears the color of the spirit.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Mountain Silhouette

The mountains are calling and I must go.

– John Muir

End of Southwest Day

Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second.

– Mattie Stepanek

September 9, 2016 - Foto Art Friday - Thou Shalt Not

This past week, we explored some New Mexico back roads that we hadn’t been down before.  Along one road, there was this sign warning us not to trespass.  We had no intention of doing that, but it struck me that how amazing it would be to have that view in one’s backyard, so to speak.  And, truly, a century ago, in this area, that was probably considered a very common back yard view.  I added some vintage text to the inspirational image, some texture, paint drips and a bird literally sitting on the fence!

Thou Shalt Not
