Greetings from New York! Yes, we made it, as those of you who follow the Weekly Photo Challenge already know as I submitted a photo of the Manhattan skyline from our taxi ride in.
Not at home.
Knot, at home.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale
New York, New York
Can there be anything more dramatic than the scale of the Manhattan skyline glistening and glimmmering in the early morning sun, as captured with my iPhone through our taxi window on the ride from JFK this morning after our red-eye flight from Vancouver. I know it’s not the greatest of photos but I feel it captures the beauty and majesty of this magnificent city waking to a new day.
Yes, for those of you who follow thechangingpalette, we made it to New York this week after our trip was cancelled a week ago because of the weather, and spent a glorious morning at the Matisse Cut-out’s exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, an exhibition that is all about scale and color and harmony, just as New York itself is, and about which more to come.

One of the remaining red tulips from Day 30 against an unfinished, imagined “classical” plaster and acrylic relief on canvas, which I also photographed in close up today with my Pentax 100mm Macro lens for Ben’s Weekly Photo Challenge:Depth.

Hippocrates II
I thought I would post this variation of yesterday’s image, captured with light painting photography in the studio using an iPhone flashlight, together with a view of the set up. The additional light was added in Photoshop Elements using an airbrush and the text duplicated and then inverted to create the mirrored effect.

Surely worth one more posting?
Colours have a beauty of their own, which must be preserved as one strives to preserve tonal quality in music. It is a question of organization and construction which is sensitive to maintaining this beautiful freshness of colour.Henri Matisse on The Role and Modalities of Colour, 1945 in Matisse on Art
