I was captivated by the cloud formation here photographed when on a short costal walk in Lanzarote

Going through folders of photographs I had discarded in the past, but today they bring a new vision...

This are not a painting. I feel obliged to explain verbally these images: The original still life photograph is lifted, raised to another level, to another interpretation, a new reality. A curator placed this final interpretation in the realm of Magic Realism, a term which is commonly applied to literature, specifically Latin American fiction. And thus attempting to bridge the gap between traditional photography and traditional painting (the repetition of 'traditional' is intended)

For the whole of January Luminair Arts will be committing 80% of two floors of the Gallery to an 'Affordable Art Exhibition' I am presenting 6 photographs: a self portrait, one digital art and 4 still life. If you are visiting Tate Britain or are in the Pimlico/Victoria area, do pop in and visit Luminaire. The Gallery address is 7 Denbigh Street Pimlico, SW1V 2HF

Autumn is upon us...

Monteriggioni is a medieval walled town, located on a natural hillock, built by the Sienese in 1214–19 as a front line defensive fortification in their wars against Florence, by assuming command of the Via Cassia running through the Val d'Elsa and Val Staggia to the west. It withstood many attacks from both the Florentines and the forces of the Bishop of Volterra. (Wikipedia)

While looking through old images I found this one that I had rejected at the time, but now it appeals to me...

Continuing with my Projects series: The Self. I was testing the lights and this was a test shot for another self portrait: a keeper if there was one! The other Self portrait is The Self - 5
