Artist interested in different forms of art.
Photography has been one of my favorite past times.
Early on I was presented with a Contax camera for my 11th birthday.Enthusiastically I took hundreds of pictures of everything in and outside our home,which proves to be a wonderful record now.

In my archives I have many ' moving' pictures,taken through windows while hobbling along in cars or buses.
Recently a friend of mine sent me an impressionist image of a beach and I got inspired to work on some of my own images in that way.
In the past I painted impressionist pictures with crayons,watercolors and in oils.The same effect can be achieved by camera.
The fine details of these images have been lost,and are replaced by lines or blotches of overall color.
With some slight adjustments and cropping these images present a sense of time travel,where light and shadow are the main players,and color and shape reveal the time of day and season.
Atmosphere is all important to me in these images.

Here on Flickr I have 4 different accounts,as the approach to the different techniques is so widely varied.
in just over 1 year I have learned so much and met so many people who inspired and encouraged me to look at subject matters in different ways.
In turn I hope I have done the same for them.
Thank you for visiting and sharing!
