Photograph - Original Photograph Further Creatively Interpreted

Description

Pieces in this series focus on scenes and objects in nature, which are specifically identified in the title - in this case, the sea on a stormy day, as seen through a curtain of grasses. From that natural, original photographic element, arises the artist's additional interpretations through creative abstract digital exploration.

When the day is stormy, the colors of the world become muted, as here, where the sea is only a suggestion of turbulent gray and the blackening sky portends rain. The grasses, swaying in the wind, retain only a hint of their usually deeper and lusher greens.

While abstract art doesn't specifically represent external reality, but exists somewhat independently of it and may seek to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures, it can, as in the case of this art piece, take specific realistic elements as springboards for creative excursions - emotionally and metaphorically.
