  2. You did these? They look like a cross between Surrealist painters I can't quite remember at the moment and 17th century Dutch landscape painters. I love the form, composition, tone, and other-worldly detail.

  4. Thanks for the comments.

    I've been feeling a little restless lately and wanted to try something different (read: severe). Although I haven't "edited" the photos (this and the #8 before) outside of cropping, I did do a lot of colour/contrast processing on them - more so than normal (I tend to be a realist as it regards tonality).

    The original idea was to have them horizontal (a la Rorschach), but Ingrid suggested a total 180-degree flip, which I think works much more effectively/dramatically.

    I do like where these are going...

  5. Squirreal (sic): I was trying to go for an earlier period, colour-wise. There is someone in my family tracing our lineage to Rembrandt, if that's helpful (!).
