SKIES OF THE ARROYO SECO
First begun as color studies for a painting using pastels, Shanna Galloway has developed a series of photographs of skies and clouds with their ever-changing and expressive colors.
I welcome your interpretations.
Leave a comment. I really appreciate them !

ReplyDeleteThe ultimate sky installation!!!
I really like the work you are doing here. These look like they are on display. Anywhere in particular?
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I have exhibited these and other skies but they are not currently in a show.
ReplyDeleteMargaret: I forgot to say thank you. So.
ReplyDeleteThank You! And welcome to my blog. Actually, I feel like I already know you, from reading your Goddess blog!
Laurie: Thanks for the link.
Mmmm. Skies like this make me run longer, because I start my run to the west and when I turn back home the colors are gone.
ReplyDelete(Don't you love living on a hillside?) just caught the text from the right or else I'd be flooding you with questions.
ReplyDeleteThese look great together as a group (especially concluding with the darkened sky). I also like the spare framing and rag paper edges. What do you use as a binder on the dry pigments. Do you buy them at Nova Color?
Years before I met Mr V he did a series of small (mid-day) cloud paintings using a airbrush. Since then he's been avid about grabbing pics of skys with notebooks full of sky shot slides.
I like these grouped. Good choice with predominantly red upper left to predominantly blue lower right.
ReplyDeleteThanks, hiker and Jean!
ReplyDeletepasadjacent: Yes, I do love living on a hillside. It has made me a sky watcher. About the dry pigment, I don't use a binder. I tone the unsized paper with it, using a chamois. Then I use an acrylic spray, mainly to create a beaded tooth to the paper to hold the strokes of pastel. The beadiness, I think is suitable to the subject, which is really just mist. If you enlarge the photo, the testure and under color show through.
