June 2011 - THIS week's PICTURE

Crozet Billboard , Blue Ridge Mountains, VA: Joiner photograph by Malcolm Aslett

Think of it as an exercise. I saturated the colours to make it an autumn Monet would be proud of. The joins between parts are lax. And feeling that there wasn't much to distinguish it I made it a square shape and filled the parts, top and bottom, with a single blue colour and a single grey colour. Does the eye see it as a single colour? I suspect not. At least not at first. Somehow the middle section forces us to to expect transitions to sky and ground. That's all there is, my friends, so keep on dancing.
