OBX Ponies

 

Ponies roam free on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They have an affect of nonchalance supported by law that states they have the absolute right of way. From the surf and dunes to finding shade in carports, family units called harems, exhibit companionship, protectiveness and sometimes fierce loyalty.

Lights Over Danube

This is a painting inspired by an evening walk along the Danube in Pest. The Danube is enormous and majestic and in the twilight time, both sky colors and lights along the Buda side, dance in the water. This is my first take on the scene and I do suspect there will be more, as the power and magic of the image remain visible to me each time I close my eyes.

Breeze

My breeze series was inspired by tibetan prayer flags. While 'breeze1' is a different view, the remaining three take variations of the same painted image. Varying background, brightness and adding color to complete the series.

Muted

Muted light, muted colors, and a walk around Wilton on a chilly pre-Spring day...

A rainy day in the mountains of North Carolina. Headed up to the Lake James area then on to Blowing Rock, hoping for nice enough weather to hike around a bit and take some pics. Instead, rather robust rain, fog, and the higher we got, the settling of clouds over the area.

Sitting with my lovely daughter and nearly perfect husband at Canyons in Blowing Rock, enveloped in a cloud, photos were taken and provided the inspiration for this series.

Out walking

A beautiful February day - the last Sunday of the month and the temperature has exceeded 80 degrees... The sun is shining, a dog bounces excitedly at the prospect of a hike in the woods. Even boys are interested in walking along... all is right with the world, at this moment, with this lens...

Above the original shot, bright white fungus reflects the midday light, zoomed in, then cropped. To the right, the full size of the original shot, with a bit of color added to emphasize the mossy surroundings.
