An abstracted sunrise

I have a side project running where I am building a collection of images that have a painterly quality to them.  I like to soften the picture by manually de-focusing the image in camera.  When it works, the effect can look more like a painting than a photograph.

I’m still crazy about sharp images but this paint approach is a nice break from the vigilance demanded on the technical front and allows me to study the gradation of colours and the relationships between the forms in a composition.  And, it’s always fun to just play around.

Here a couple of others in the developing series.

    I love the “blurry” one. I will try to get to Bragg Creek this week to check them out. I am looking for some art work in my new living room.
