seeing colors
Ingrid has been busy capturing the many vibrant colors of spring on her blog. Her photos of flowers are loaded with color and life. She has nicely recorded mother nature’s elegant artistic expressions. In looking at her great snapshots, I’m reminded of some of my favorite artists who are now categorized as anything from abstract expressionists to color-field theory painters to post-painterly abstractionists. Regardless of what they’re called today, folks like Rothko, Newman, and Stella all used color in important and evocative ways.
Above (and below) I’ve posted a few photos where color steals the show. I’ve slightly tweaked the original snapshots, but, for the most part, I’ve tried to keep true to the original subject.
