Shapes

"I was not ready for abstraction. I clung to earth and her dear shapes, her density, her herbage, her juice. I wanted her volume, and I wanted to hear her throb."
Emily Carr 1871-1945

For me, reality and abstraction are all part of the same thing. One feeds the other.
I like the lines and color of the California coast in this photograph.

  1. Beautiful picture Don, I have travel along the coast from SF to LA but did'nt dip my toes into those beautiful waters half as much as I would have like too. Another visit is long overdue.
