Lady of the Sea

This image is available for sale at Photo4me, framed and ready to hang!

Where would our dreams take us if we allowed them? Where are we going even if we do not? This was actually taken with the boat sitting on grass, because what we see, what we can imagine, and what we think we see ay be completely unrelated. Sometimes it is best to let the current take us where it will, and instead of trying to control our environment we try to see what is really there.

The Coffee Cup

This is my image on Photos4me, where you can buy it.

In many ways I prefer abstracts simply because realistic art can be a series of traps where only certain expected types of image are popular, rather like what you would find typically on a photographers website like where the above image is hosted. By making an abstract it kind of frees the viewer somewhat from the need to decide whether the image fits a pre-determined category. Of course, whether someone likes and image or not is another question altogether.
