Stained Glass Variation I

Day 51 iv

Stained Glass Variation II

Given today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds from Jen I thought I would work with some of the torn pieces from yesterdays Guildford Cathedral Revisited and play with the rule of thirds and Bokeh effect. What do you think?

Day 51 vii

Well Met

As promised on MoMA Mia, a gallery and slideshow of some of my favourite photos from our recent visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The perfect way to spend a few hours on a New York Sunday afternoon in January.

While you are viewing the slides, enjoy Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett singing…you guessed it of course…New York New York.

Studio 365: Day 50

Day 50viii

Guildford Cathedral Revisited.

After yesterdays’s collages, I thought I would revisit an image I found in one of the studio drawers. In fact it was a stencil I had made of a stained glass window in Guildford Cathedral in England.

I had photographed the window some years ago at a time I was using stained glass imagery in my paintings. Here is the photograph…

Excited by yesterday’s collages this is the collage for today’s Guildford Cathedral Revisited using torn pieces from previous stained glass window paintings.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry II

The Centennial Totem Pole, Vanier Park, Kitsilano, Vancouver

Walking in this afternoon’s sunshine and with symmetry on my mind, the Centennial Pole made a perfect subject. The pole was dedicated in 1958 as a memorial to British Columbia’s Centennial year and was carved by Mungo Martin of the Kwakiutl nation. A second pole was presented to Her Majesty the Queen and resides in Windsor Great Park.

For another view of the pole visit A Pole with a View from last summer.
